An Overview of Entity Relation Extraction

Abstract

Plenty of digital text is generated and shared in nowadays life, which constitutes many unstructured text resources. An automatically information extraction method is highly in demand as a large amount of useful information can be stored and output through it. In this paper, several basic concepts about entity relation extraction are introduced, including word embedding, positional embedding and convolutional neutral networks. Several types of relation extraction are also discussed: supervised relation extraction, relation extraction using distant supervision and relation extraction using few-shot approach. In addition, the existing challenges and problems are discussed, like overlapped triples, wrong labeled data and the difficulties that few-shot learning approaches are now facing.
