依存约束的图网络实体关系联合抽取

实体关系抽取是信息抽取的关键任务之一,是一种包含实体抽取和关系抽取的级联任务.传统的实体关系抽取方式是将实体与关系抽取任务分离的Pipeline方式,忽略了两个任务的内在联系,导致关系抽取的效果严重依赖实体抽取,容易引起误差的累积.为了规避这种问题,我们提出一种端到端的实体关系联合抽取模型,通过自注意力机制学习单词特征,基于句法依存图蕴含的依赖信息构建依存约束,然后将约束信息融入图注意力网络来实现实体与关系的抽取.通过在公共数据集NYT上进行实验证明了我们工作的先进性和显著性,我们的模型在保持高精度的情况下,召回率有了显著的提升,比以往工作中的方法具有更好的抽取性能.

Graph Network with Dependency Constraints for Joint Entity and Relationship Extraction

Entity relationship extraction is one of the key tasks of information extraction, which involves a multi-task cascade including entity extraction and relationship extraction. Traditional methods of entity relationship extraction follow a mode of Pipeline which separates entity extraction from relationship extraction, ignoring the internal connection between the two. As a result, the effect of relationship extraction depends heavily on entity extraction, and it is prone to error accumulation. To avoid this problem, we propose an end-to-end joint entity and relationship extraction model, which relies on the self-attention mechanism to learn word features, constructs dependency constraints based on dependency information contained in syntactic dependency graphs, and then integrates constraint information into a graph attention network for entity and relationship extraction. Experiments on the public data set NYT demonstrate the advance and significance of our model which has a high recall rate and better extraction performance than previous methods.
