Attention Guided Graph Convolutional Networks for Relation Extraction

Open access
Guo, Zhijiang, Zhang, Yan, Lu, Wei·2019·Proceedings of the 57th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics

Abstract

Dependency trees convey rich structural information that is proven useful for extracting relations among entities in text.However, how to effectively make use of relevant information while ignoring irrelevant information from the dependency trees remains a challenging research question.Existing approaches employing rule based hard-pruning strategies for selecting relevant partial dependency structures may not always yield optimal results.In this work, we propose Attention Guided Graph Convolutional Networks (AGGCNs), a novel model which directly takes full dependency trees as inputs.Our model can be understood as a soft-pruning approach that automatically learns how to selectively attend to the relevant sub-structures useful for the relation extraction task.Extensive results on various tasks including cross-sentence n-ary relation extraction and large-scale sentence-level relation extraction show that our model is able to better leverage the structural information of the full dependency trees, giving significantly better results than previous approaches.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
