We collected datasets fictional narratives containing a expression along with crowd-sourced plausible implausible continuations relying correct expression. then trained models to choose or generate continuation. Our experiments show that based solely pre-trained perform substantially worse than humans these tasks. additionally propose knowledge-enhanced models, adopting human strategies for interpreting types: inferring meaning from context constituent words’ meanings. The improve performance both discriminative generative tasks, further bridging gap performance.
