Challenge: Existing approaches to relation extraction use concatenating embeddings of head and tail entities . however, such representations capture the types of the entities involved, leading to false positives and confusion between relations involving entities of the same type.
Approach: They propose a model which combines [MASK] embeddings with entity embedds to learn relation embeddations.
