This includes encyclopedic knowledge for factual details, common sense for human-like reasoning and natural language generation for smarter communication. With recent chatbots conceivably at the verge of passing the Turing Test, there are calls for more common sense oriented alternatives, e.g., the Winograd Schema Challenge. The Aristo QA system demonstrates the lack of common sense in current systems in answering fourth-grade science exam questions. On the language generation front, despite the progress in deep learning, current models are easily confused by subtle distinctions that may require linguistic common sense, e.g.quick food vs. fast food. These issues bear on tasks such as machine translation and should be addressed using common sense acquired from text. Mining common sense from massive amounts of data and applying it in intelligent systems, in several respects, appears to be the next frontier in computing. Our brief overview of the state of Commonsense Knowledge (CSK) in Machine Intelligence provides insights into CSK acquisition, CSK in natural language, applications of CSK and discussion of open issues. This paper provides a report of a tutorial at a recent conference with a brief survey of topics.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1145\/3186549.3186562","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,2,23]],"date-time":"2018-02-23T16:40:01Z","timestamp":1519404001000},"page":"49-52","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1145\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":76,"title":["Commonsense Knowledge in Machine Intelligence"],"prefix":"10.1145","volume":"46","author":[{"given":"Niket","family":"Tandon","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence, Seattle, WA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aparna S.","family":"Varde","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of CS Montclair State University, Montclair, NJ, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gerard","family":"de Melo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rutgers University, Piscataway, NJ, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"320","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,2,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_1_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3115\/v1\/D14-1059"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1145\/2623330.2630803"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/ICCV.2013.178"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_4_1","volume-title":"AKBC '14","author":"Clark Peter","year":"2014","unstructured":"Peter Clark , Niranjan Balasubramanian , Sumithra Bhakthavatsalam , Kevin Humphreys , Jesse Kinkead , Ashish Sabharwal , and Oyvind Tafjord .
