• Title: An Empirical Study on Relation Extraction in the Biomedical Domain
• Authors: Yongkang Li
• Abstract summary: We consider both sentence-level and document-level relation extraction, and run a few state-of-the-art methods on several benchmark datasets. Our results show that (1) current document-level relation extraction methods have strong generalization ability; (2) existing methods require a large amount of labeled data for model fine-tuning in biomedicine.

• Abstract: Relation extraction is a fundamental problem in natural language processing. Most existing models are defined for relation extraction in the general domain. However, their performance on specific domains (e.g., biomedicine) is yet unclear. To fill this gap, this paper carries out an empirical study on relation extraction in biomedical research articles. Specifically, we consider both sentence-level and document-level relation extraction, and run a few state-of-the-art methods on several benchmark datasets. Our results show that (1) current document-level relation extraction methods have strong generalization ability; (2) existing methods require a large amount of labeled data for model fine-tuning in biomedicine. Our observations may inspire people in this field to develop more effective models for biomedical relation extraction.

  The Interaction between Drugs and Targets (DTI) in human body plays a crucial role in biomedical science and applications. As millions of papers come out every year in the biomedical domain, automatically discovering DTI knowledge from literature becomes an urgent demand in the industry. We explore the first end-to-end solution for this task by using generative approaches. We regard the DTI triplets as a sequence and use a Transformer-based model to directly generate them without using the detailed annotations of entities and relations.
