• Title: A Densely Connected Criss-Cross Attention Network for Document-level Relation Extraction
• Authors: Liang Zhang, Yidong Cheng
• Abstract summary: Document-level relation extraction (RE) aims to identify relations between two entities in a given document. Previous research normally completed reasoning through information propagation on the mention-level or entity-level document-graph. We propose a novel model, called Densely Connected Criss-Cross Attention Network (Dense-CCNet), for document-level RE.

• Abstract: Document-level relation extraction (RE) aims to identify relations between two entities in a given document. Compared with its sentence-level counterpart, document-level RE requires complex reasoning. Previous research normally completed reasoning through information propagation on the mention-level or entity-level document-graph, but rarely considered reasoning at the entity-pair-level.In this paper, we propose a novel model, called Densely Connected Criss-Cross Attention Network (Dense-CCNet), for document-level RE, which can complete logical reasoning at the entity-pair-level. Specifically, the Dense-CCNet performs entity-pair-level logical reasoning through the Criss-Cross Attention (CCA), which can collect contextual information in horizontal and vertical directions on the entity-pair matrix to enhance the corresponding entity-pair representation. In addition, we densely connect multiple layers of the CCA to simultaneously capture the features of single-hop and multi-hop logical reasoning.We evaluate our Dense-CCNet model on three public document-level RE datasets, DocRED, CDR, and GDA. Experimental results demonstrate that our model achieves state-of-the-art performance on these three datasets.

  We introduce a framework called GRaded Generative Retrieval (GR$2$) GR$2$ focuses on two key components: ensuring relevant and distinct identifiers, and implementing multi-graded constrained contrastive training.

  Document-level Relation Extraction (RE) requires extracting relations expressed within and across sentences.

We propose the textbfCoarse-to-textbfFine textbfEntity textbfRepresentation model (textbfCFER) that adopts a coarse-to-fine strategy.
