Abstract: Prior knowledge is believed to be informative to assist the understanding of natural language and the integration of prior knowledge with machine learning models has been found useful in various NLP tasks. The prior knowledge can be categorised into two categories. Structured knowledge explicitly defined by knowledge graph and more, while unstructured knowledge implicitly contained in large text corpus. Our research focuses on the effectiveness of integrating these two kinds of prior knowledge with machine learning models on text classification and summarisation.
