Global Inference to Chinese Temporal Relation Extraction
نویسندگان
چکیده
Previous studies on temporal relation extraction focus on mining sentence-level information or enforcing coherence on different temporal relation types among various event mentions in the same sentence or neighboring sentences, largely ignoring those discourse-level temporal relations in nonadjacent sentences. In this paper, we propose a discourse-level global inference model to mine those temporal relations between event mentions in document-level, especially in nonadjacent sentences. Moreover, we provide various kinds of discourse-level constraints, which derived from event semantics, to further improve our global inference model. Evaluation on a Chinese corpus justifies the effectiveness of our discourse-level global inference model over two strong baselines.

Encoding Relation Requirements for Relation Extraction via Joint Inference
Most existing relation extraction models make predictions for each entity pair locally and individually, while ignoring implicit global clues available in the knowledge base, sometimes leading to conflicts among local predictions from different entity pairs. In this paper, we propose a joint inference framework that utilizes these global clues to resolve disagreements among local predictions. W...
متن کاملStructured Learning for Temporal Relation Extraction from Clinical Records
We propose a scalable structured learning model that jointly predicts temporal relations between events and temporal expressions (TLINKS), and the relation between these events and the document creation time (DCTR). We employ a structured perceptron, together with integer linear programming constraints for document-level inference during training and prediction to exploit relational properties ...

متن کاملA Novel Feature-based Approach to Chinese Entity Relation Extraction
Relation extraction is the task of finding semantic relations between two entities from text. In this paper, we propose a novel feature-based Chinese relation extraction approach that explicitly defines and explores nine positional structures between two entities. We also suggest some correction and inference mechanisms based on relation hierarchy and co-reference information etc. The approach ...
متن کاملArgument Inference from Relevant Event Mentions in Chinese Argument Extraction
As a paratactic language, sentence-level argument extraction in Chinese suffers much from the frequent occurrence of ellipsis with regard to inter-sentence arguments. To resolve such problem, this paper proposes a novel global argument inference model to explore specific relationships, such as Coreference, Sequence and Parallel, among relevant event mentions to recover those intersentence argum...
