• Title: Named Entity Recognition and Relation Extraction using Enhanced Table Filling by Contextualized Representations
• Authors: Youmi Ma, Tatsuya Hiraoka, Naoaki Okazaki
• Abstract summary: The proposed method computes representations for entity mentions and long-range dependencies without complicated hand-crafted features or neural-network architectures. We also adapt a tensor dot-product to predict relation labels all at once without resorting to history-based predictions or search strategies. Despite its simplicity, the experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms the state-of-the-art methods on the CoNLL04 and ACE05 English datasets.

• Abstract: In this study, a novel method for extracting named entities and relations from unstructured text based on the table representation is presented. By using contextualized word embeddings, the proposed method computes representations for entity mentions and long-range dependencies without complicated hand-crafted features or neural-network architectures. We also adapt a tensor dot-product to predict relation labels all at once without resorting to history-based predictions or search strategies. These advances significantly simplify the model and algorithm for the extraction of named entities and relations. Despite its simplicity, the experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms the state-of-the-art methods on the CoNLL04 and ACE05 English datasets. We also confirm that the proposed method achieves a comparable performance with the state-of-the-art NER models on the ACE05 datasets when multiple sentences are provided for context aggregation.

  Relation extraction is essentially a text classification problem, which can be tackled by fine-tuning a pre-trained language model (LM) Existing approaches therefore solve the problem in an indirect way: they fine-tune an LM to learn embeddings of the head and tail entities, and then predict the relationship from these entity embeddings. Our hypothesis in this paper is that relation extraction models can be improved by capturing relationships in a more direct way.

  This work focuses on extracting explanations that indicate that a relation exists while using only partially labeled data. We propose our model-agnostic framework, D-REX, a policy-guided semi-supervised algorithm that explains and ranks relations. We find that about 90% of the time, human annotators prefer D-REX's explanations over a strong BERT-based joint relation extraction and explanation model.
