LightRel SemEval-2018 Task 7: Lightweight and Fast Relation Classification
This work provides a lightweight solution for relation extraction, but it is incremental as it builds on existing methods with simple features.
The authors tackled relation classification by developing LightRel, a lightweight and fast classifier using minimal features and external knowledge, achieving a high baseline for relation extraction tasks.
We present LightRel, a lightweight and fast relation classifier. Our goal is to develop a high baseline for different relation extraction tasks. By defining only very few data-internal, word-level features and external knowledge sources in the form of word clusters and word embeddings, we train a fast and simple linear classifier.
