DivGraphPointer: A Graph Pointer Network for Extracting Diverse Keyphrases
Keyphrase extraction from documents is useful to a variety of applications
such as information retrieval and document summarization. This paper presents
an end-to-end method called DivGraphPointer for extracting a set of diversified
keyphrases from a document. DivGraphPointer combines the advantages of
traditional graph-based ranking methods and recent neural network-based
approaches. Specifically, given a document, a word graph is constructed from
the document based on word proximity and is encoded with graph convolutional
networks, which effectively capture document-level word salience by modeling
long-range dependency between words in the document and aggregating multiple
appearances of identical words into one node. Furthermore, we propose a
diversified point network to generate a set of diverse keyphrases out of the
word graph in the decoding process. Experimental results on five benchmark data
sets show that our proposed method significantly outperforms the existing
state-of-the-art approaches.Comment: Accepted to SIGIR 201
An attentive neural architecture for joint segmentation and parsing and its application to real estate ads
In processing human produced text using natural language processing (NLP)
techniques, two fundamental subtasks that arise are (i) segmentation of the
plain text into meaningful subunits (e.g., entities), and (ii) dependency
parsing, to establish relations between subunits. In this paper, we develop a
relatively simple and effective neural joint model that performs both
segmentation and dependency parsing together, instead of one after the other as
in most state-of-the-art works. We will focus in particular on the real estate
ad setting, aiming to convert an ad to a structured description, which we name
property tree, comprising the tasks of (1) identifying important entities of a
property (e.g., rooms) from classifieds and (2) structuring them into a tree
format. In this work, we propose a new joint model that is able to tackle the
two tasks simultaneously and construct the property tree by (i) avoiding the
error propagation that would arise from the subtasks one after the other in a
pipelined fashion, and (ii) exploiting the interactions between the subtasks.
For this purpose, we perform an extensive comparative study of the pipeline
methods and the new proposed joint model, reporting an improvement of over
three percentage points in the overall edge F1 score of the property tree.
Also, we propose attention methods, to encourage our model to focus on salient
tokens during the construction of the property tree. Thus we experimentally
demonstrate the usefulness of attentive neural architectures for the proposed
joint model, showcasing a further improvement of two percentage points in edge
F1 score for our application.Comment: Preprint - Accepted for publication in Expert Systems with

Long-tail Relation Extraction via Knowledge Graph Embeddings and Graph Convolution Networks
We propose a distance supervised relation extraction approach for
long-tailed, imbalanced data which is prevalent in real-world settings. Here,
the challenge is to learn accurate "few-shot" models for classes existing at
the tail of the class distribution, for which little data is available.
Inspired by the rich semantic correlations between classes at the long tail and
those at the head, we take advantage of the knowledge from data-rich classes at
the head of the distribution to boost the performance of the data-poor classes
at the tail. First, we propose to leverage implicit relational knowledge among
class labels from knowledge graph embeddings and learn explicit relational
knowledge using graph convolution networks. Second, we integrate that
relational knowledge into relation extraction model by coarse-to-fine
knowledge-aware attention mechanism. We demonstrate our results for a
large-scale benchmark dataset which show that our approach significantly
outperforms other baselines, especially for long-tail relations.Comment: To be published in NAACL 201
