title = "Enriching Conceptual Knowledge in Language Models through Metaphorical Reference Explanation",
abstract = "In this paper, we explore a novel approach to concept enrichment in language models (LMs) by leveraging the fundamental similarities between conceptual knowledge enrichment and metaphorical reference resolution. While previous knowledge editing (KE) methods predominantly focus on factual updates, we introduce a method that trains LMs to not only incorporate new conceptual meanings but also generatively explain the connections between original and enriched definitions through metaphorical analogies. To achieve this, we develop a new dataset tailored for concept enrichment tasks and apply it to train an LM capable of updating and reasoning about conceptual knowledge. The proposed method was evaluated on both {"}is-a{"} relation classification and metaphorical reference detection.",
