A Sentence Simplification System for Improving Relation Extraction
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this demo paper, we present a text simplification approach that is directed at improving the performance of state-of-the-art Open Relation Extraction (RE) systems. As syntactically complex sentences often pose a challenge for current Open RE approaches, we have developed a simplification framework that performs a pre-processing step by taking a single sentence as input and using a set of syntactic-based transformation rules to create a textual input that is easier to process for subsequently applied Open RE systems.

Extraction of Drug-Drug Interaction from Literature through Detecting Linguistic-based Negation and Clause Dependency
Extracting biomedical relations such as drug-drug interaction (DDI) from text is an important task in biomedical NLP. Due to the large number of complex sentences in biomedical literature, researchers have employed some sentence simplification techniques to improve the performance of the relation extraction methods. However, due to difficulty of the task, there is no noteworthy improvement in t...
متن کاملSimplification de phrases pour l'extraction de relations (Sentence Simplification for Relation Extraction) [in French]
Sentence simplification for relation extraction Machine learning based relation extraction requires large annotated corpora to take into account the variability in the expression of relations. To deal with this problem, we propose a method for simplifying sentences, i.e. for reducing the syntactic variability of the relations. Simplification requires the annotation of a small corpus, which will...
متن کاملiSimp in BioC standard format: enhancing the interoperability of a sentence simplification system
This article reports the use of the BioC standard format in our sentence simplification system, iSimp, and demonstrates its general utility. iSimp is designed to simplify complex sentences commonly found in the biomedical text, and has been shown to improve existing text mining applications that rely on the analysis of sentence structures. By adopting the BioC format, we aim to make iSimp readi...

متن کاملBioSimplify: an open source sentence simplification engine to improve recall in automatic biomedical information extraction
BioSimplify is an open source tool written in Java that introduces and facilitates the use of a novel model for sentence simplification tuned for automatic discourse analysis and information extraction (as opposed to sentence simplification for improving human readability). The model is based on a "shot-gun" approach that produces many different (simpler) versions of the original sentence by co...
