• Abstract: Open Relation Extraction (OpenRE) requires a model to extract unseen relations between head and tail entities from unstructured text for real-world applications. The core challenge of OpenRE lies in achieving reliable generalization to unseen relation types. Current OpenRE approaches either employ clustering techniques, which cannot generate relation labels and suffer from poor generalization, or rely on direct relation label generation via Large Language Models (LLMs), which lack sufficient discriminative capacity to distinguish easily confused relations. To address these limitations, we propose Reasoning-guided progressive OpenRE (ReaORE), a framework for performing relation extraction through coarse-to-fine relation reasoning. Specifically, ReaORE consists of two key stages: (i) relation filtering, which reasons over multiple aspects to understand relations and instances, yielding an initial relation set, and further supplements and filters relations via embedding-based similarity to ensure the target relation is included; (ii) relation prediction, which aims to predict the target relations from the above set via fine-grained comparative reasoning to better distinguish easily confused relations. Extensive experiments on two widely used OpenRE datasets demonstrate that ReaORE outperforms existing baselines.

  Relation extraction is essentially a text classification problem, which can be tackled by fine-tuning a pre-trained language model (LM) Existing approaches therefore solve the problem in an indirect way: they fine-tune an LM to learn embeddings of the head and tail entities, and then predict the relationship from these entity embeddings. Our hypothesis in this paper is that relation extraction models can be improved by capturing relationships in a more direct way.

  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.
