Challenge: Existing relation extraction systems are designed for within-sentence relations, but extracting information from scientific articles requires relations across sentences.
Approach: They propose a multi-task setup for identifying entities, relations, and coreference clusters in scientific articles . they develop a unified framework called SciIE with shared span representations to solve this problem .
Outcome: The proposed model outperforms existing models without domain-specific features in scientific information extraction.
