• Abstract summary: ReOnto Relation Extraction (RE) is the task of extracting semantic relationships between entities in a sentence and aligning them to relations defined in a vocabulary. We present a novel technique that makes use of neuro symbolic knowledge for the RE task. Experimental results on two public biomedical datasets, BioRel and ADE, show that our method outperforms all the baselines.

• Abstract: Relation Extraction (RE) is the task of extracting semantic relationships between entities in a sentence and aligning them to relations defined in a vocabulary, which is generally in the form of a Knowledge Graph (KG) or an ontology. Various approaches have been proposed so far to address this task. However, applying these techniques to biomedical text often yields unsatisfactory results because it is hard to infer relations directly from sentences due to the nature of the biomedical relations. To address these issues, we present a novel technique called ReOnto, that makes use of neuro symbolic knowledge for the RE task. ReOnto employs a graph neural network to acquire the sentence representation and leverages publicly accessible ontologies as prior knowledge to identify the sentential relation between two entities. The approach involves extracting the relation path between the two entities from the ontology. We evaluate the effect of using symbolic knowledge from ontologies with graph neural networks. Experimental results on two public biomedical datasets, BioRel and ADE, show that our method outperforms all the baselines (approximately by 3\%).

  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.
