چکیده

While precision and recall have served the information extraction community well as two separate measures of system performance, we show that the F -measure, the weighted harmonic mean of precision and recall, exhibits certain undesirable behaviors. To overcome these limitations, we define an error measure, the slot error rate, which combines the different types of error directly, without having to resort to precision and recall as preliminary measures. The slot error rate is analogous to the word error rate that is used for measuring speech recognition performance; it is intended to be a measure of the cost to the user for the system to make the different types of errors.

A New Method for Improving Computational Cost of Open Information Extraction Systems Using Log-Linear Model

Information extraction (IE) is a process of automatically providing a structured representation from an unstructured or semi-structured text. It is a long-standing challenge in natural language processing (NLP) which has been intensified by the increased volume of information and heterogeneity, and non-structured form of it. One of the core information extraction tasks is relation extraction wh...

A Geometric View of Similarity Measures in Data Mining

The main objective of data mining is to acquire information from a set of data for prospect applications using a measure. The concerning issue is that one often has to deal with large scale data. Several dimensionality reduction techniques like various feature extraction methods have been developed to resolve the issue. However, the geometric view of the applied measure, as an additional consid...

Optimizing Multivariate Performance Measures for Learning Relation Extraction Models

We describe a novel max-margin learning approach to optimize non-linear performance measures for distantly-supervised relation extraction models. Our approach can be generally used to learn latent variable models under multivariate non-linear performance measures, such as Fβ-score. Our approach interleaves Concave-Convex Procedure (CCCP) for populating latent variables with dual decomposition t...
