Event extraction is vital to social media monitoring and social event prediction. In this paper, we propose a method for social event extraction from web documents by identifying binary relations between named entities. There have been many studies on relation extraction, but their aims were mostly academic. For practical application, we try to identify 130 relation types that comprise 31 prede...

Relation Extraction (RE) is a vital step to complete Knowledge Graph (KG) by extracting entity relations from texts. However, it usually suffers the long-tail issue. This paper proposes novel approach learn relation prototypes unlabeled texts, facilitate RE transferring knowledge types with sufficient training data. We as an implicit factor between entities, which reflects meanings of and their...

In state of the art sentiment analysis, text is analyzed for a single unidimensional sentiment or opinion score. This unidimensional sentiment, however, cannot capture the nuances of emotions: for example, two texts that respectively convey anger and sadness will both have a negative sentiment associated with them, while carrying very different connotations. Thus, we require a tool that allows ...

The task of relation extraction is to recognize and extract relations between entities or concepts in texts. Dependency parse trees have become a popular source for discovering extraction patterns, which encode the grammatical relations among the phrases that jointly express relation instances. State-of-the-art weakly supervised approaches to relation extraction typically extract thousands of u...

Relation Extraction is the task of identifying relation between entities in a natural language sentence. We propose a semisupervised approach for relation extraction based on EM algorithm, which uses few relation labeled seed examples and a large number of unlabeled examples (but labeled with entities). We present analysis of how unlabeled data helps in improving the overall accuracy compared t...

Extracting semantic relationships between entities is challenging. This paper investigates the incorporation of diverse lexical, syntactic and semantic knowledge in feature-based relation extraction using SVM. Our study illustrates that the base phrase chunking information is very effective for relation extraction and contributes to most of the performance improvement from syntactic aspect whil...
