"text": "Automatic extraction and classification of causal relations in text has been an important yet challenging task in natural language understanding. Early methods in the 80s and 90s (Joskowicz et al., 1989; Kaplan and Berry-Rogghe, 1991; Garcia et al., 1997; Khoo et al., 1998) mainly relied on defining hand-crafted rules to find cause-effect relations. Starting 2000, machine learning tools were utilized in building causal relation extraction models (Girju, 2003; Choi, 2004, 2006; Blanco et al., 2008; Do et al., 2011; Hashimoto et al., 2012; Hidey and McKeown, 2016) . Word-embeddings and Pretrained Language Models (PLMs) have also been leveraged in training models for understanding causality in language in recent years (Dunietz et al., 2018; Pennington et al., 2014; Dasgupta et al., 2018; Gao et al., 2019) .",

"text": "Investigating the true capability of pretrained language models in understanding causality in text is still an open question. More recently, Knowledge Graphs (KGs) have been used in combination with pretrained language models to address commonsense reasoning. Two examples are Causal-BERT (Li et al., 2020) for guided generation of Cause and Effect and the model introduced by Guan et al. (2020) for commonsense story generation. Motivated by the success of continual pretraining of PLMs for downstream tasks (Gururangan et al., 2020), we explore the impact of common sense knowledge injection as a form of continual pretraining for causal reasoning and cause-effect relation classification. It is worth highlighting that even though there are studies to show the efficacy of knowledge injection with continual pretraining for commonsense reasoning (Guan et al., 2020) , performance of these techniques is very dependent on the domain and downstream tasks (Gururangan et al., 2020) . And, to the best of our knowledge, there are limited studies on the effect of commonsense knowledge injection with knowledge graph data on cause-effect relation classification (Dalal et al., 2021) .

For instance, in the triple: [PersonX affords another ___, xAttr, useful] it is hard to know why or understand what it means for a person to be useful without knowing what they afforded. This preprocessing step yields in 782,848 triples with 121,681, 177,706, and 483,461 from event, physical, and social categories, respectively. Distribution of these relations is shown in Figure 2 .

To address this issue, we use an open-source grammar and spell checker, LanguageTool, 2 to double-check our converted triples to ensure they do not contain obvious grammatical mistakes or spelling errors. Similar approaches that include deterministic grammatical transformations were also previously used to convert KG triples to coherent sentences (Davison et al., 2019) . It is worth pointing out that the Data-To-Text generation (KG verbalization) for itself is a separate task and there have been efforts to address this task (Agarwal et al., 2021) .

For COPA-related experiments, since COPA does not have a training set, we use COPA's development set for fine-tuning our models and testing them on COPA's test set (COPA-test) and BCOPA-CE. For hyperparameter tuning, we randomly split COPA's development set into train (%90) and dev (%10) and find the best learning rate, batch size, and number of train epochs based on the evaluation accuracy on the development set. Then using COPA's original development set and best set of hyperparameters, we fine-tune our models and evaluate them on the test set. In all experiments, we report the average performance of models using four different random seeds. For TCR, we fine-tune and evaluate our models on train and test splits, respectively.",

We initially observed that a continually pretrained model using all three types of relations has a lower performance than our baseline. By taking a closer look at each relation type, we decided to train another model, this time only using the event relations. The reason is that event-centric relations in ATOMIC 20 20 specifically contain commonsense knowledge about event interaction for understating likely causal relations between events in the world (Hwang et al., 2021) . In addition, event relations have a relatively longer context (# of tokens) than the average of all three relation types combined which means more context for a model to learn from.

Second, we have not yet applied any model improvement methods such as using a margin-based loss introduced by and used in Causal-BERT (Li et al., 2020) , an extra regularization loss proposed by Han and Wang (2021) , or fine-tuning with quality-enhanced training data, BCOPA, introduced by Kavumba et al. (2019) . As a result, there is still great room to improve current models that can be a proper next step.

As expected based on the results also reported by Han and Wang (2021), we initially observed that our models are performing nearly as random baseline. Since we do not use the type of question when encoding input sequences, we decided to see whether adding question type as a prompt to input sequences will improve the performance. We added It is because and As a result, as prompt for asks-for=\"cause\" and asks-for=\"effect\", respectively. Interestingly, the new model outperforms the baseline and Han and Wang (2021)'s b-l-aug model that is fine-tuned with the same data as ours, when question types are added as prompts to input sequences of correct and incorrect answers in the test set. We also ran a similar experiment on COPA-test (Table 5) in which adding prompt did not help with performance improvement.",
