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
Hierarchical Losses and New Resources for Fine-grained Entity Typing and Linking
Extraction from raw text to a knowledge base of entities and fine-grained
types is often cast as prediction into a flat set of entity and type labels,
neglecting the rich hierarchies over types and entities contained in curated
ontologies. Previous attempts to incorporate hierarchical structure have
yielded little benefit and are restricted to shallow ontologies. This paper
presents new methods using real and complex bilinear mappings for integrating
hierarchical information, yielding substantial improvement over flat
predictions in entity linking and fine-grained entity typing, and achieving new
state-of-the-art results for end-to-end models on the benchmark FIGER dataset.
We also present two new human-annotated datasets containing wide and deep
hierarchies which we will release to the community to encourage further
research in this direction: MedMentions, a collection of PubMed abstracts in
which 246k mentions have been mapped to the massive UMLS ontology; and TypeNet,
which aligns Freebase types with the WordNet hierarchy to obtain nearly 2k
entity types. In experiments on all three datasets we show substantial gains
from hierarchy-aware training.Comment: ACL 201
A Trio Neural Model for Dynamic Entity Relatedness Ranking
Measuring entity relatedness is a fundamental task for many natural language
processing and information retrieval applications. Prior work often studies
entity relatedness in static settings and an unsupervised manner. However,
entities in real-world are often involved in many different relationships,
consequently entity-relations are very dynamic over time. In this work, we
propose a neural networkbased approach for dynamic entity relatedness,
leveraging the collective attention as supervision. Our model is capable of
learning rich and different entity representations in a joint framework.
Through extensive experiments on large-scale datasets, we demonstrate that our
method achieves better results than competitive baselines.Comment: In Proceedings of CoNLL 201
