Infusion of Labeled Data into Distant Supervision for Relation Extraction

Maria Pershina, Bonan Min, Wei Hong Xu, Ralph Grishman · 2014

Distant supervision usually utilizes only unlabeled data and existing knowledge bases to learn relation extraction models.However, in some cases a small amount of human labeled data is available.In this paper, we demonstrate how a state-of-theart multi-instance multi-label model can be modified to make use of these reliable sentence-level labels in addition to the relation-level distant supervision from a database.Experiments show that our approach achieves a statistically significant increase of 13.5% in F-score and 37% in area under the precision recall curve.
