Semantic Relation Classification via Convolutional Neural Networks with Simple Negative Sampling
Syntactic features play an essential role in identifying relationship in a
sentence. Previous neural network models often suffer from irrelevant
information introduced when subjects and objects are in a long distance. In
this paper, we propose to learn more robust relation representations from the
shortest dependency path through a convolution neural network. We further
propose a straightforward negative sampling strategy to improve the assignment
of subjects and objects. Experimental results show that our method outperforms
the state-of-the-art methods on the SemEval-2010 Task 8 dataset
Deep learning for extracting protein-protein interactions from biomedical literature
State-of-the-art methods for protein-protein interaction (PPI) extraction are
primarily feature-based or kernel-based by leveraging lexical and syntactic
information. But how to incorporate such knowledge in the recent deep learning
methods remains an open question. In this paper, we propose a multichannel
dependency-based convolutional neural network model (McDepCNN). It applies one
channel to the embedding vector of each word in the sentence, and another
channel to the embedding vector of the head of the corresponding word.
Therefore, the model can use richer information obtained from different
channels. Experiments on two public benchmarking datasets, AIMed and BioInfer,
demonstrate that McDepCNN compares favorably to the state-of-the-art
rich-feature and single-kernel based methods. In addition, McDepCNN achieves
24.4% relative improvement in F1-score over the state-of-the-art methods on
cross-corpus evaluation and 12% improvement in F1-score over kernel-based
methods on "difficult" instances. These results suggest that McDepCNN
generalizes more easily over different corpora, and is capable of capturing
long distance features in the sentences.Comment: Accepted for publication in Proceedings of the 2017 Workshop on

A Labeled Graph Kernel for Relationship Extraction
In this paper, we propose an approach for Relationship Extraction (RE) based
on labeled graph kernels. The kernel we propose is a particularization of a
random walk kernel that exploits two properties previously studied in the RE
literature: (i) the words between the candidate entities or connecting them in
a syntactic representation are particularly likely to carry information
regarding the relationship; and (ii) combining information from distinct
sources in a kernel may help the RE system make better decisions. We performed
experiments on a dataset of protein-protein interactions and the results show
that our approach obtains effectiveness values that are comparable with the
state-of-the art kernel methods. Moreover, our approach is able to outperform
the state-of-the-art kernels when combined with other kernel methods
