This paper provides a comprehensive overview on a new paradigm of logical reasoning, which uses natural language as knowledge representation~(and pretrained language models as reasoners), including philosophical definition and categorization of logical reasoning, advantages of the new paradigm, benchmarks and methods, challenges of the new paradigm, desirable tasks & methods in the future, and relation to related NLP fields.

To this end, we propose a new task, which is to induce natural language rules from natural language facts, and create a dataset termed DEER containing 1. 2k rule-fact pairs for the task, where rules and facts are written in natural language.

Extracting informative arguments of events from news articles is a challenging problem in information extraction, which requires a global contextual understanding of each document.

Document-level information extraction (IE) tasks have recently begun to be revisited in earnest using the end-to-end neural network techniques that have been successful on their sentence-level IE counterparts.

To address this problem, we introduce QA-driven slot filling (QASF), which extracts slot-filler spans from utterances with a span-based QA model.

Template filling is generally tackled by a pipeline of two separate supervised systems {--} one for role-filler extraction and another for template/event recognition.

Few-shot learning arises in important practical scenarios, such as when a natural language understanding system needs to learn new semantic labels for an emerging, resource-scarce domain.

We show that leveraging metadata information from web pages can improve the performance of models for answer passage selection/reranking.

We revisit the classic problem of document-level role-filler entity extraction (REE) for template filling.

Our goal is procedural text comprehension, namely tracking how the properties of entities (e. g., their location) change with time given a procedural text (e. g., a paragraph about photosynthesis, a recipe).

We study the task of generating from Wikipedia articles question-answer pairs that cover content beyond a single sentence.

A first step in the task of automatically generating questions for testing reading comprehension is to identify \textit{question-worthy} sentences, i. e. sentences in a text passage that humans find it worthwhile to ask questions about.

We study automatic question generation for sentences from text passages in reading comprehension.
