In the first part of my talk, I will show how commonsense knowledge can 
be used to make the reasoning about reading comprehension more intuitive 
[1].
In the second part, I will introduce a new dataset about open book 
question answering (OpenBookQA) [2] show the performance of some models. 
Answering the questions form OpenBookQA is challenging and requires 
combining scientific knowledge (open book) and external common knowledge 
in a multi-hop fashion.
