Reducing Feature Embedding Data for Discovering Relations in Big Text Data

摘要

Relation extraction is a critical task in building a knowledge base from unstructured text documents. Most works in automatic relation extraction have applied deep learning techniques such as Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) in large text corpora. However, they require a large amount of human labelling data, which is labour intensive and is hardly applied in a new domain of document without human supervision. This paper proposes a novel framework to extract relations in multi-domain texts effectively. In particular, we construct the framework in three phases including preprocessing, feature embedding and relation extraction. We show that a small proportion of training data is sufficient to train our relation extraction framework and achieve a good accuracy in relation extraction works.
