• Abstract summary: We propose Jointprop, a Heterogeneous Graph-based Propagation framework for joint semi-supervised entity and relation extraction. We construct a unified span-based heterogeneous graph from entity and relation candidates and propagate class labels based on confidence scores. We show that our framework outperforms the state-of-the-art semi-supervised approaches on NER and RE tasks.

• Abstract: Semi-supervised learning has been an important approach to address challenges in extracting entities and relations from limited data. However, current semi-supervised works handle the two tasks (i.e., Named Entity Recognition and Relation Extraction) separately and ignore the cross-correlation of entity and relation instances as well as the existence of similar instances across unlabeled data. To alleviate the issues, we propose Jointprop, a Heterogeneous Graph-based Propagation framework for joint semi-supervised entity and relation extraction, which captures the global structure information between individual tasks and exploits interactions within unlabeled data. Specifically, we construct a unified span-based heterogeneous graph from entity and relation candidates and propagate class labels based on confidence scores. We then employ a propagation learning scheme to leverage the affinities between labelled and unlabeled samples. Experiments on benchmark datasets show that our framework outperforms the state-of-the-art semi-supervised approaches on NER and RE tasks. We show that the joint semi-supervised learning of the two tasks benefits from their codependency and validates the importance of utilizing the shared information between unlabeled data.

  We introduce a novel framework named the Bipartite and Complete Directed Graph Neural Network (BCGNN) Within BCGNN, observations and features are differentiated as two distinct node types, and the values of observed features are converted into attributed edges linking them. In parallel, the complete directed graph segment adeptly outlines and communicates the complex interdependencies among features.

  We focus on the problem of joint extraction in distantly-labeled data, whose labels are generated by aligning entity mentions with the corresponding entity and relation tags using a knowledge base (KB) Existing approaches, either considering only one source of noise or making decisions using external knowledge, cannot well-utilize significant information in the training data. We propose DENRL, a generalizable framework that incorporates a lightweight transformer backbone into a sequence labeling scheme for joint tagging.
