Exploiting Background Knowledge for Relation Extraction
نویسندگان
چکیده
Relation extraction is the task of recognizing semantic relations among entities. Given a particular sentence supervised approaches to Relation Extraction employed feature or kernel functions which usually have a single sentence in their scope. The overall aim of this paper is to propose methods for using knowledge and resources that are external to the target sentence, as a way to improve relation extraction. We demonstrate this by exploiting background knowledge such as relationships among the target relations, as well as by considering how target relations relate to some existing knowledge resources. Our methods are general and we suggest that some of them could be applied to other NLP tasks.

Application-Driven Relation Extraction with Limited Distant Supervision
Recent approaches to relation extraction following the distant supervision paradigm have focused on exploiting large knowledge bases, from which they extract substantial amount of supervision. However, for many relations in real-world applications, there are few instances available to seed the relation extraction process, and appropriate named entity recognizers which are necessary for pre-proc...

متن کاملExploiting Relation Extraction for Ontology Alignment
When multiple ontologies are used within one application system, aligning the ontologies is a prerequisite for interoperability and unhampered semantic navigation and search. Various methods have been proposed to compute mappings between elements from different ontologies, the majority of which being based on various kinds of similarity measures. As a major shortcoming of these methods it is di...
متن کاملExploiting Description Knowledge for Keyphrase Extraction
Keyphrase extraction is essential for many IR and NLP tasks. Existing methods usually use the phrases of the document separately without distinguishing the potential semantic correlations among them, or other statistical features from knowledge bases such as WordNet and Wikipedia. However, the mutual semantic information between phrases is also important, and exploiting their correlations may p...
متن کاملGenerating Pattern-Based Entailment Graphs for Relation Extraction
Relation extraction is the task of recognizing and extracting relations between entities or concepts in texts. A common approach is to exploit existing knowledge to learn linguistic patterns expressing the target relation and use these patterns for extracting new relation mentions. Deriving relation patterns automatically usually results in large numbers of candidates, which need to be filtered...
