چکیده

Most existing relation extraction models make predictions for each entity pair locally and individually, while ignoring implicit global clues available in the knowledge base, sometimes leading to conflicts among local predictions from different entity pairs. In this paper, we propose a joint inference framework that utilizes these global clues to resolve disagreements among local predictions. We exploit two kinds of clues to generate constraints which can capture the implicit type and cardinality requirements of a relation. Experimental results on three datasets, in both English and Chinese, show that our framework outperforms the state-of-theart relation extraction models when such clues are applicable to the datasets. And, we find that the clues learnt automatically from existing knowledge bases perform comparably to those refined by human.

Collective Cross-Document Relation Extraction Without Labelled Data

We present a novel approach to relation extraction that integrates information across documents, performs global inference and requires no labelled text. In particular, we tackle relation extraction and entity identification jointly. We use distant supervision to train a factor graph model for relation extraction based on an existing knowledge base (Freebase, derived in parts from Wikipedia). F...

End-to-End Relation Extraction Using Markov Logic Networks

The task of end-to-end relation extraction consists of two sub-tasks: i) identifying entity mentions along with their types and ii) recognizing semantic relations among the entity mention pairs. It has been shown that for better performance, it is necessary to address these two sub-tasks jointly [22,13]. We propose an approach for simultaneous extraction of entity mentions and relations in a se...

Joint Extraction of Entities and Relations for Opinion Recognition

We present an approach for the joint extraction of entities and relations in the context of opinion recognition and analysis. We identify two types of opinion-related entities — expressions of opinions and sources of opinions — along with the linking relation that exists between them. Inspired by Roth and Yih (2004), we employ an integer linear programming approach to solve the joint opinion re...

Customizing an Information Extraction System to a New Domain

We introduce several ideas that improve the performance of supervised information extraction systems with a pipeline architecture, when they are customized for new domains. We show that: (a) a combination of a sequence tagger with a rule-based approach for entity mention extraction yields better performance for both entity and relation mention extraction; (b) improving the identification of syn...

Distributed MAP Inference for Undirected Graphical Models

Graphical models have widespread uses in information extraction and natural language processing. Recent improvements in approximate inference techniques [1, 2, 3, 4] have allowed exploration of dense models over a large number of variables. These applications include coreference resolution [5, 6], relation extraction [7], and joint inference [8, 9, 10]. But as the graphs grow to web scale, even...
