• Abstract: Relation extraction (RE) aims to extract potential relations according to the context of two entities, thus, deriving rational contexts from sentences plays an important role. Previous works either focus on how to leverage the entity information (e.g., entity types, entity verbalization) to inference relations, but ignore context-focused content, or use counterfactual thinking to remove the model's bias of potential relations in entities, but the relation reasoning process will still be hindered by irrelevant content. Therefore, how to preserve relevant content and remove noisy segments from sentences is a crucial task. In addition, retained content needs to be fluent enough to maintain semantic coherence and interpretability. In this work, we propose a novel rationale extraction framework named RE2, which leverages two continuity and sparsity factors to obtain relevant and coherent rationales from sentences. To solve the problem that the gold rationales are not labeled, RE2 applies an optimizable binary mask to each token in the sentence, and adjust the rationales that need to be selected according to the relation label. Experiments on four datasets show that RE2 surpasses baselines.

  We propose a novel model, Entity-aware Self-attention Contextualized GCN (ESC-GCN), which efficiently incorporates syntactic structure of input sentences and semantic context of sequences.

  Relation extraction (RE) aims to extract the relations between entity names from the textual context. Existing work has found that the RE models the entity name patterns to make RE predictions while ignoring the textual context. This motivates us to raise the question: are RE models robust to the entity replacements?''

  Key semantic information within a sentence plays a key role in the relationship extraction of entities. We propose the hypothesis that the key semantic information inside the sentence plays a key role in entity relationship extraction. The proposed relational extraction model can make full use of the available positive semantic information.

  We propose a Relation of Relation Learning Network (R2-Net) for sentence semantic matching. We first employ BERT to encode the input sentences from a global perspective. Then a CNN-based encoder is designed to capture keywords and phrase information from a local perspective. To fully leverage labels for better relation information extraction, we introduce a self-supervised relation of relation classification task.

  In interpretable NLP, we require faithful rationales that reflect the model's decision-making process for an explained instance. We demonstrate that pipelines, existing models for faithful extractive rationalization on information-extraction style tasks, do not extend as reliably to "reasoning" tasks requiring free-text rationales. We turn to models that jointly predict and rationalize, a class of widely used high-performance models for free-text rationalization whose faithfulness is not yet established.

  We propose a new paradigm of Relation Extraction (RE) that considers as a whole the predictions of all relations in the same context. We develop a data-driven approach that does not require hand-crafted rules but learns by itself the relation of relations (RoR) using Graph Neural Networks and a relation matrix transformer. Experiments show that our model outperforms the state-of-the-art approaches by +1.12% on the ACE05 dataset and +2.55% on SemEval 2018 Task 7.2.
