Sieve-Based Spatial Relation Extraction with Expanding Parse Trees
نویسندگان
چکیده
A key challenge introduced by the recent SpaceEval shared task on spatial relation extraction is the identification of MOVELINKs, a type of spatial relation in which up to eight spatial elements can participate. To handle the complexity of extracting MOVELINKs, we combine two ideas that have been successfully applied to information extraction tasks, namely tree kernels and multi-pass sieves, proposing the use of an expanding parse tree as a novel structured feature for training MOVELINK classifiers. Our approach yields state-of-the-art results on two key tasks in SpaceEval.

Composite Kernels For Relation Extraction
The automatic extraction of relations between entities expressed in natural language text is an important problem for IR and text understanding. In this paper we show how different kernels for parse trees can be combined to improve the relation extraction quality. On a public benchmark dataset the combination of a kernel for phrase grammar parse trees and for dependency parse trees outperforms ...
متن کاملExploring Syntactic Features for Relation Extraction using a Convolution Tree Kernel
This paper proposes to use a convolution kernel over parse trees to model syntactic structure information for relation extraction. Our study reveals that the syntactic structure features embedded in a parse tree are very effective for relation extraction and these features can be well captured by the convolution tree kernel. Evaluation on the ACE 2003 corpus shows that the convolution kernel ov...

This paper proposes a convolution tree kernel-based approach for relation extraction where parse trees are expanded with various entity-related features, such as entity type, subtype, and mention level. Our study indicates that not only can our method effectively capture both syntactic structure and entity information of relation instances in a single tree kernel, but also can avoid the difficu...
