Hady Elsahar, Pavlos Vougiouklis, Arslen Remaci, Christophe Gravier, Jonathon Hare, Frederique Laforest, Elena Simperl
| Challenge: | Existing datasets that provide alignments between natural language and knowledge bases (KB) triples are limited in size, lack coverage and are of unreported quality. |
| Approach: | They propose to build a large scale dataset of alignments between Wikipedia abstracts and Wikidata triples that is two orders of magnitude larger than the largest available alignments dataset. |
| Outcome: | The proposed dataset is two orders of magnitude larger than the largest available dataset and covers 2.5 times more predicates. |

Hierarchical Relation-Guided Type-Sentence Alignment for Long-Tail Relation Extraction with Distant Supervision (2022.findings-naacl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Distant supervision uses triple facts to label corpus for relation extraction, leading to wrong labeling and long-tail problems. |
| Approach: | They propose a model to enrich distantly-supervised sentences with entity types by injecting context-free and -related backgrounds into sentences to alleviate sentence-level wrong labeling. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model achieves state-of-the-art on benchmarks and in overall and long-tail performance. |
