A Novel Chinese Overlapping Entity Relation Extraction Model Using Word-Label Based on Cascade Binary Tagging.

In recent years, overlapping entity relation extraction has received a great deal of attention and has made good progress in English. However, the research on overlapping entity relation extraction in Chinese still faces two key problems: one is the lack of datasets with overlapping entity instances, and the other is the lack of a neural network model that can effectively solve overlapping entity relation extraction. To address the above problems, this paper produces an interpersonal relationship dataset, NewsPer, for news texts and proposes a Chinese overlapping entity relation extraction model, DepCasRel. First, the model uses "Word-label" to incorporate the character features of Chinese text into the dependency analysis graph, and then uses the same binary labeling method to label the head and tail entities embedded in the text. Finally, the text's triples are extracted. DepCasRel solves the problem that traditional methods make it difficult to extract triples with overlapping entities. Experiments on our manually annotated dataset NewsPer show that DepCasRel can effectively encode the semantic and structural information of text and improve the performance of an overlapping entity relation extraction model.
