• Title: Document-Level Relation Extraction with Relation Correlation Enhancement
• Authors: Yusheng Huang, Zhouhan Lin
• Abstract summary: Document-level relation extraction (DocRE) is a task that focuses on identifying relations between entities within a document. Existing DocRE models often overlook the correlation between relations and lack a quantitative analysis of relation correlations. We propose a relation graph method, which aims to explicitly exploit the interdependency among relations.

• Abstract: Document-level relation extraction (DocRE) is a task that focuses on identifying relations between entities within a document. However, existing DocRE models often overlook the correlation between relations and lack a quantitative analysis of relation correlations. To address this limitation and effectively capture relation correlations in DocRE, we propose a relation graph method, which aims to explicitly exploit the interdependency among relations. Firstly, we construct a relation graph that models relation correlations using statistical co-occurrence information derived from prior relation knowledge. Secondly, we employ a re-weighting scheme to create an effective relation correlation matrix to guide the propagation of relation information. Furthermore, we leverage graph attention networks to aggregate relation embeddings. Importantly, our method can be seamlessly integrated as a plug-and-play module into existing models. Experimental results demonstrate that our approach can enhance the performance of multi-relation extraction, highlighting the effectiveness of considering relation correlations in DocRE.

  We show that semantic correlations between relations are inherently edge-level and entity-independent. We propose a novel subgraph-based method, namely TACO, to model Topology-Aware COrrelations between relations. To further exploit the potential of RCN, we propose Complete Common Neighbor induced subgraph.

  We propose to explicitly teach the model to capture relevant contexts and entity types by supervising and augmenting intermediate steps (SAIS) for relation extraction. Based on a broad spectrum of carefully designed tasks, our proposed SAIS method not only extracts relations of better quality due to more effective supervision, but also retrieves the corresponding supporting evidence more accurately.

  This work focuses on extracting explanations that indicate that a relation exists while using only partially labeled data. We propose our model-agnostic framework, D-REX, a policy-guided semi-supervised algorithm that explains and ranks relations. We find that about 90% of the time, human annotators prefer D-REX's explanations over a strong BERT-based joint relation extraction and explanation model.

  TACT is inspired by the observation that the semantic correlation between two relations is highly correlated to their topological knowledge graphs. We categorize all relation pairs into several topological patterns then propose a structure in Correlation Network (RCN) to learn the importance of the different patterns for inductive link prediction. Experiments demonstrate that TACT can effectively model semantic correlations between relations, and significantly outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods on benchmark datasets.

  We propose a novel encoder-classifier-reconstructor model for document-level relation extraction (DocRE) The reconstructor reconstructs the ground-truth path dependencies from the graph representation, to ensure that the proposed DocRE model pays more attention to encode entity pairs with relationships in the training. Experimental results on a large-scale DocRE dataset show that the proposed model can significantly improve the accuracy of relation extraction on a strong heterogeneous graph-based baseline.

  We propose CTEG, a model equipped with two mechanisms to learn to decouple easily-confused relations. On the one hand, an EGA mechanism is introduced to guide the attention to filter out information causing confusion. On the other hand, a Confusion-Aware Training (CAT) method is proposed to explicitly learn to distinguish relations.
