Recent approaches for this span-level task have been token-level models which have inherent limitations. They cannot easily define and implement span-level features, cannot model overlapping entity mentions and have cascading errors due to the use of sequential decoding. To address these concerns, we present a model which directly models all possible spans and performs joint entity mention detection and relation extraction. We report a new state-of-the-art performance of 62.83 F1 (prev best was 60.49) on the ACE2005 dataset.","url_abs":"https://aclanthology.org/P19-1525","url_pdf":"https://aclanthology.org/P19-1525.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[],"tasks":[{"task_slug":null,"task_name":"Relation"},{"task_slug":"relation-extraction","task_name":"Relation Extraction"},{"task_slug":"model","task_name":"model"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[{"leaderboard":"/sota/relation-extraction-on-ace-2005","task":"Relation Extraction","dataset":"ACE 2005","model":"Span-level","rank_in_archive_order":22,"of":30,"metrics":{"Cross Sentence":"No","NER Micro F1":"85.98","Sentence Encoder":"ELMo"},"uses_additional_data":false}],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
