Challenge: Document-level relation extraction models are not robust and exhibit bizarre behaviors when non-evidence sentences are removed.
Approach: They propose a document-level relation extraction framework that uses a sentence importance score and a focusing loss to encourage DocRE models to focus on evidence sentences.
Outcome: The proposed framework improves overall performance and makes DocRE models more robust.
