Challenge: Relation extraction (RE) aims to identify the semantic relations between named entities in text.
Approach: They propose a novel relation extraction model that encodes document information in terms of entity global and local representations and context relation representations.
Outcome: The proposed model achieves superior performance on two public datasets for document-level RE.

Relation-Specific Attentions over Entity Mentions for Enhanced Document-Level Relation Extraction (2022.naacl-main)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Existing document-level relation extraction methods do not distinguish between mention-level features and entity-level feature . document-based methods are more challenging because of multiple mentions of entities.
Approach: They propose a method which selectively attentions different entity mentions with respect to candidate relations and performs relation-specific representations of entities.
Outcome: The proposed method improves relation-specific representations of entities on two benchmark datasets.
