Abstract

In order to improve the performance of the existing relation extraction approaches, we propose a method for combining two pivotal concepts which play an important role in classifying semantic relationships between entities in text. Having built a composite kernel-based relation extraction system, which incorporates both entity features and syntactic structured information of relation instances, we define nine classes of lexical features and synthetically apply them to the system. Evaluation on the ACE RDC corpus shows that our approach boosts the effectiveness of the existing composite kernels in relation extraction. It also confirms that by integrating the three important features (entity features, syntactic structures and contextual lexical features), we can improve the performance of a relation extraction process.

본 논문에서는 기존의 관계 추출 성능을 향상시키기 위해서 기존의 자질 기반 방법에서 추구하였던 개체 주변 문맥 다양성 정보의 추출 및 적용과 커널 기반 방법의 강점인 관계 인스턴스에 대한 구문 구조적 자질 정보의 통합 활용을 통한 확장된 혼합 커널을 제안한다. ACE RDC 코퍼스를 활용한 실험에서, 기존의 합성곱 구문 트리 커널 기반 혼합 커널을 기반으로 총 9 종류의 평면적 어휘 자질 집합을 정의하고 이를 적용함으로써 성능 향상에 기여하는 어휘 자질 유형을 파악할 수 있었으며, 적은 규모의 학습 집합으로도 현재 최고 수준의 성능에 필적하는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 결론적으로 관계 추출을 위한 세 가지 핵심 정보, 즉 개체 자질, 구문 구조적 자질, 주변 문맥 어휘 자질을 통합 적용하면 관계 추출의 성능을 향상시킬 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.
