Entity or Relation Embeddings? An Analysis of Encoding Strategies for Relation Extraction (2024.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| 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. |
