Ranking-Based Automatic Seed Selection and Noise Reduction for Weakly Supervised Relation Extraction
Van-Thuy Phi, Joan Santoso, Masashi Shimbo, Yuji Matsumoto
This paper addresses the tasks of automatic seed selection for bootstrapping relation extraction, and noise reduction for distantly supervised relation extraction. We first point out that these tasks are related. Then, inspired by ranking relation instances and patterns computed by the HITS algorithm, and selecting cluster centroids using the K-means, LSA, or NMF method, we propose methods for selecting the initial seeds from an existing resource, or reducing the level of noise in the distantly labeled data. Experiments show that our proposed methods achieve a better performance than the baseline systems in both tasks.
