• Abstract: Over the last five years, research on Relation Extraction (RE) witnessed extensive progress with many new dataset releases. At the same time, setup clarity has decreased, contributing to increased difficulty of reliable empirical evaluation (Taill\'e et al., 2020). In this paper, we provide a comprehensive survey of RE datasets, and revisit the task definition and its adoption by the community. We find that cross-dataset and cross-domain setups are particularly lacking. We present an empirical study on scientific Relation Classification across two datasets. Despite large data overlap, our analysis reveals substantial discrepancies in annotation. Annotation discrepancies strongly impact Relation Classification performance, explaining large drops in cross-dataset evaluations. Variation within further sub-domains exists but impacts Relation Classification only to limited degrees. Overall, our study calls for more rigour in reporting setups in RE and evaluation across multiple test sets.

  Relation Extraction (RE) remains a challenging task, especially when considering realistic out-of-domain evaluations. obtaining high-quality (manually annotated) data is extremely expensive and cannot realistically be repeated for each new domain. An intermediate training step on data from related tasks has shown to be beneficial across many NLP tasks.However, this setup still requires supplementary annotated data, which is often not available. In this paper, we investigate intermediate pre-training specifically for RE. We exploit the affinity between syntactic structure and semantic RE, and identify the syntactic relations closely related to RE by being on the shortest dependency path between two entities

  Temporal Sentence Grounding in Videos (TSGV) aims to ground a natural language sentence in an untrimmed video. Recent studies have found that current benchmark datasets may have obvious moment annotation biases. We introduce a new evaluation metric "dR@n,IoU@m" that discounts the basic recall scores to alleviate the inflating evaluation caused by biased datasets.

  We bridge the gap to real-world scenarios by analyzing the behavior of the most prominent disentanglement approaches on correlated data. We show that systematically induced correlations in the dataset are being learned and reflected in the latent representations. We also demonstrate how to resolve these latent correlations, either using weak supervision during training or by post-hoc correcting a pre-trained model with a small number of labels.

  We study the problem of novel human-object interaction (HOI) detection, aiming at improving the generalization ability of the model to unseen scenarios. The challenge mainly stems from the large compositional space of objects and predicates, which leads to the lack of sufficient training data for all the object-predicate combinations. We propose a unified framework of adversarial domain generalization to learn object-invariant features for predicate prediction.
