An entity relation extraction model based on semantic pattern matching

Abstract

This paper proposes a relation extraction model based on semantic pattern matching in Web environment. It consists of frequent pattern extraction, pattern clustering based on density, and pattern matching based on semantic similarity. First, based on the entities with known relations in a limited training set, we extract relation patterns containing these named entities from the web page. Then the relations between entities from the web page in specific areas can be extracted based on these relation patterns extracted. Experiments show the affectivity and the self-adaptive of our method on extracting relations between entities from dynamic web environment. © 2011 IEEE.
