Exploiting Language Models as a Source of Knowledge for Cognitive Agents
This work addresses knowledge extraction for cognitive systems, but it appears incremental as it builds on existing capabilities without claiming major breakthroughs.
The paper tackles the problem of using large language models as a source of task knowledge for cognitive agents, identifying challenges and opportunities for integration with cognitive architectures.
Large language models (LLMs) provide capabilities far beyond sentence completion, including question answering, summarization, and natural-language inference. While many of these capabilities have potential application to cognitive systems, our research is exploiting language models as a source of task knowledge for cognitive agents, that is, agents realized via a cognitive architecture. We identify challenges and opportunities for using language models as an external knowledge source for cognitive systems and possible ways to improve the effectiveness of knowledge extraction by integrating extraction with cognitive architecture capabilities, highlighting with examples from our recent work in this area.
