Abstract:

In order to alleviate the false positive problem in distant supervision for relation extraction and improve the precision and recall rate, this paper presents a distant supervision model with weak constraints of entity pairs for relation extraction. This approach first gains constraint information of entity pairs from knowledge base and plain text, which contains key words of entity pairs and entity types. Then the model can obtain features of constraint information automatically by training neural networks. Then these features are used as weak constraints during relation prediction in company with the features of sentences. In contrast experiments, the model with weak constraints of entity pairs achieves higher precision and recall rate. Results show that weak constraints of entity pairs can effectively alleviate the false positive problem and enhance relation extraction.

Key words: artificial intelligence, distant supervision for relation extraction, neural networks, weak constraints of entity pairs, attention mechanism
