MINIMALLY SUPERVISED NOVEL RELATION EXTRACTION USING
A LATENT RELATIONAL MAPPING
ABSTRACT:
The World Wide Web includes semantic relations of numerous types that exist among different
entities. Extracting the relations that exist between two entities is an important step in various
Web-related tasks such as information retrieval (IR), information extraction, and social network
extraction. A supervised relation extraction system that is trained to extract a particular relation
type (source relation) might not accurately extract a new type of a relation (target relation) for
which it has not been trained. However, it is costly to create training data manually for every
new relation type that one might want to extract. We propose a method to adapt an existing
relation extraction system to extract new relation types with minimum supervision.
Our proposed method comprises two stages: learning a lower dimensional projection between
different relations, and learning a relational classifier for the target relation type with instance
sampling. First, to represent a semantic relation that exists between two entities, we extract
lexical and syntactic patterns from contexts in which those two entities co-occur. Then, we
construct a bipartite graph between relation-specific (RS) and relation-independent (RI) patterns.
Spectral clustering is performed on the bipartite graph to compute a lower dimensional
projection. Second, we train a classifier for the target relation type using a small number of
labeled instances. To account for the lack of target relation training instances, we present a one-
sided under sampling method. We evaluate the proposed method using a data set that contains
2,000 instances for 20 different relation types. Our experimental results show that the proposed
method achieves a statistically significant macroaverage F-score of 62.77. Moreover, the
proposed method outperforms numerous baselines and a previously proposed weakly supervised
relation extraction method.
