Cross-document relation extraction (RE), as an extension of information extraction, requires integrating information from multiple documents retrieved from open domains with a large number of irrelevant or confusing noisy texts. Previous studies focus on the attention mechanism to construct the connection between different text features through semantic similarity. However, similarity-based methods cannot distinguish valid information from highly similar retrieved documents well. How to design an effective algorithm to implement aggregated reasoning in confusing information with similar features still remains an open issue. To address this problem, we design a novel local-to-global causal reasoning (LGCR) network for cross-document RE, which enables efficient distinguishing, filtering and global reasoning on complex information from a causal perspective. Specifically, we propose a local causal estimation algorithm to estimate the causal effect, which is the first trial to use the causal reasoning independent of feature similarity to distinguish between confusing and valid information in cross-document RE. Furthermore, based on the causal effect, we propose a causality guided global reasoning algorithm to filter the confusing information and achieve global reasoning. Experimental results under the closed and the open settings of the large-scale dataset CodRED demonstrate our LGCR network significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art methods and validate the effectiveness of causal reasoning in confusing information processing.
Plug-and-play priors are popular for solving illposed imaging inverse problems. Recent efforts indicate that the convergence guarantee of the imaging algorithms using plug-andplay priors relies on the assumption of bounded denoisers. However, the bounded properties of existing plugged Gaussian denoisers have not been proven explicitly. To bridge this gap, we detail a novel provable bounded denoiser termed as BMDual,which combines a trainable denoiser using dual tight frames and the well-known bl... 相似文献
