• Abstract: Relation extraction is an important task in knowledge acquisition and text understanding. Existing works mainly focus on improving relation extraction by extracting effective features or designing reasonable model structures. However, few works have focused on how to validate and correct the results generated by the existing relation extraction models. We argue that validation is an important and promising direction to further improve the performance of relation extraction. In this paper, we explore the possibility of using question answering as validation. Specifically, we propose a novel question-answering based framework to validate the results from relation extraction models. Our proposed framework can be easily applied to existing relation classifiers without any additional information. We conduct extensive experiments on the popular NYT dataset to evaluate the proposed framework, and observe consistent improvements over five strong baselines.

  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.

  Relation extraction is a challenging task that aims to extract all hidden relational facts from the text. There is no unified framework that works well under various relation extraction settings. We propose a knowledge-enhanced generative model to mitigate these two issues. Our model achieves superior performance on multiple benchmarks and settings, including WebNLG, NYT10, and TACRED.

  We propose to explicitly teach the model to capture relevant contexts and entity types by supervising and augmenting intermediate steps (SAIS) for relation extraction. 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.

  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.

We extend such sequence-to-sequence models with the idea of infusing structured data from the target knowledge base. We train the model with the aim to generate a structured output consisting of a list of argument-relation pairs, enabling a knowledge validation step.
