A Method of Recognizing Entity and Relation
The entity and relation recognition, i.e. (1) assigning semantic classes to entities in a sentence, and (2) determining the relations held between entities, is an important task in areas such as information extraction. Subtasks (1) and (2) are typically carried out sequentially, but this approach is problematic: the errors made in subtask (1) are propagated to subtask (2) with an accumulative effect; and, the information available only in subtask (2) cannot be used in subtask (1). To address this problem, we propose a method that allows subtasks (1) and (2) to be associated more closely with each other. The process is performed in three stages: firstly, employing two classifiers to do subtasks (1) and (2) independently; secondly, recognizing an entity by taking all the entities and relations into account, using a model called the Entity Relation Propagation Diagram; thirdly, recognizing a relation based on the results of the preceding stage. The experiments show that the proposed metho...
