This paper titled "Knowledge Graph Based Synthetic Corpus Generation for Knowledge-Enhanced Language Model Pre-training" discusses the task of converting knowledge graph (KG) triples into natural text, specifically focusing on verbalizing the entire English Wikidata KG. The authors highlight the unique challenges associated with this broad, open-domain, large-scale verbalization and demonstrate how verbalizing a comprehensive KG like Wikidata can facilitate the integration of structured KGs and natural language corpora. Unlike existing architectures that aim to integrate these two sources, the proposed approach converts the KG into natural text, enabling seamless integration into existing language models. This conversion offers several advantages, including improved factual accuracy and reduced toxicity in the resulting language model. To evaluate this approach, the authors augment the retrieval corpus in a retrieval language model and observe significant improvements in knowledge-intensive tasks such as open domain question answering (QA) and the LAMA knowledge probe. The authors emphasize that prior work in Data-To-Text Generation primarily focused on domain-specific benchmark datasets. In contrast, their study tackles the challenge of verbalizing an encyclopedic KG like Wikidata. By expanding on this research area, they contribute to bridging the gap between structured KGs and natural language corpora. Overall, this paper presents a novel approach to generating synthetic corpora by converting KG triples into natural text from English Wikidata. The results demonstrate its effectiveness in enhancing language models' performance on knowledge-intensive tasks while ensuring improved factual accuracy and reduced toxicity.

Abstract: Prior work on Data-To-Text Generation, the task of converting knowledge graph (KG) triples into natural text, focused on domain-specific benchmark datasets. In this paper, however, we verbalize the entire English Wikidata KG, and discuss the unique challenges associated with a broad, open-domain, large-scale verbalization. We further show that verbalizing a comprehensive, encyclopedic KG like Wikidata can be used to integrate structured KGs and natural language corpora. In contrast to the many architectures that have been developed to integrate these two sources, our approach converts the KG into natural text, allowing it to be seamlessly integrated into existing language models. It carries the further advantages of improved factual accuracy and reduced toxicity in the resulting language model. We evaluate this approach by augmenting the retrieval corpus in a retrieval language model and showing significant improvements on the knowledge intensive tasks of open domain QA and the LAMA knowledge probe.
