• Abstract summary: We extend an entity-enriched relation classification BERT model to the problem of multiple instance learning. We define a simple data encoding scheme that significantly reduces noise. Our approach further encodes knowledge about the direction of relation triples, allowing for increased focus on relation learning.

• Abstract: Fact triples are a common form of structured knowledge used within the biomedical domain. As the amount of unstructured scientific texts continues to grow, manual annotation of these texts for the task of relation extraction becomes increasingly expensive. Distant supervision offers a viable approach to combat this by quickly producing large amounts of labeled, but considerably noisy, data. We aim to reduce such noise by extending an entity-enriched relation classification BERT model to the problem of multiple instance learning, and defining a simple data encoding scheme that significantly reduces noise, reaching state-of-the-art performance for distantly-supervised biomedical relation extraction. Our approach further encodes knowledge about the direction of relation triples, allowing for increased focus on relation learning by reducing noise and alleviating the need for joint learning with knowledge graph completion.

  We propose BioKDN (Biomedical Knowledge Graph Denoising Network) for robust molecular interaction prediction. BioKDN refines the reliable structure of local subgraphs by denoising noisy links in a learnable manner. It maintains consistent and robust semantics by smoothing relations around the target interaction.

  We propose a graph view of sentence bags referring to an entity pair, which enables message-passing based aggregation of information related to the entity pair over the sentence bag. The proposed framework alleviates the common problem of noisy labeling in distantly supervised relation extraction and also effectively incorporates inter-dependencies between sentences within a bag.

  ReOnto Relation Extraction (RE) is the task of extracting semantic relationships between entities in a sentence and aligning them to relations defined in a vocabulary. We present a novel technique that makes use of neuro symbolic knowledge for the RE task. Experimental results on two public biomedical datasets, BioRel and ADE, show that our method outperforms all the baselines.

Based on a broad spectrum of carefully designed tasks, our proposed SAIS method not only extracts relations of better quality due to more effective supervision, but also retrieves the corresponding supporting evidence more accurately.
