Graphene: Semantically-Linked Propositions in Open Information Extraction
We present an Open Information Extraction (IE) approach that uses a
two-layered transformation stage consisting of a clausal disembedding layer and
a phrasal disembedding layer, together with rhetorical relation identification.
In that way, we convert sentences that present a complex linguistic structure
into simplified, syntactically sound sentences, from which we can extract
propositions that are represented in a two-layered hierarchy in the form of
core relational tuples and accompanying contextual information which are
semantically linked via rhetorical relations. In a comparative evaluation, we
demonstrate that our reference implementation Graphene outperforms
state-of-the-art Open IE systems in the construction of correct n-ary
predicate-argument structures. Moreover, we show that existing Open IE
approaches can benefit from the transformation process of our framework.Comment: 27th International Conference on Computational Linguistics (COLING

Using Neural Networks for Relation Extraction from Biomedical Literature
Using different sources of information to support automated extracting of
relations between biomedical concepts contributes to the development of our
understanding of biological systems. The primary comprehensive source of these
relations is biomedical literature. Several relation extraction approaches have
been proposed to identify relations between concepts in biomedical literature,
namely, using neural networks algorithms. The use of multichannel architectures
composed of multiple data representations, as in deep neural networks, is
leading to state-of-the-art results. The right combination of data
representations can eventually lead us to even higher evaluation scores in
relation extraction tasks. Thus, biomedical ontologies play a fundamental role
by providing semantic and ancestry information about an entity. The
incorporation of biomedical ontologies has already been proved to enhance
previous state-of-the-art results.Comment: Artificial Neural Networks book (Springer) - Chapter 1
