Query: Explanation Graph Generation via Pre-trained Language Models: An
  Empirical Study with Contrastive Learning   Pre-trained sequence-to-sequence language models have led to widespread
success in many natural language generation tasks. However, there has been
relatively less work on analyzing their ability to generate structured outputs
such as graphs. Unlike natural language, graphs have distinct structural and
semantic properties in the context of a downstream NLP task, e.g., generating a
graph that is connected and acyclic can be attributed to its structural
constraints, while the semantics of a graph can refer to how meaningfully an
edge represents the relation between two node concepts. In this work, we study
pre-trained language models that generate explanation graphs in an end-to-end
manner and analyze their ability to learn the structural constraints and
semantics of such graphs. We first show that with limited supervision,
pre-trained language models often generate graphs that either violate these
constraints or are semantically incoherent. Since curating large amount of
human-annotated graphs is expensive and tedious, we propose simple yet
effective ways of graph perturbations via node and edge edit operations that
lead to structurally and semantically positive and negative graphs. Next, we
leverage these graphs in different contrastive learning models with Max-Margin
and InfoNCE losses. Our methods lead to significant improvements in both
structural and semantic accuracy of explanation graphs and also generalize to
other similar graph generation tasks. Lastly, we show that human errors are the
best negatives for contrastive learning and also that automatically generating
more such human-like negative graphs can lead to further improvements. Our code
and models are publicly available at https://github.com/swarnaHub/ExplagraphGen
