Attention-Based Capsule Networks with Dynamic Routing for Relation Extraction
This is an incremental improvement for relation extraction in natural language processing.
The paper tackled relation extraction by proposing a capsule network with attention mechanisms, achieving improved precision on multiple benchmarks.
A capsule is a group of neurons, whose activity vector represents the instantiation parameters of a specific type of entity. In this paper, we explore the capsule networks used for relation extraction in a multi-instance multi-label learning framework and propose a novel neural approach based on capsule networks with attention mechanisms. We evaluate our method with different benchmarks, and it is demonstrated that our method improves the precision of the predicted relations. Particularly, we show that capsule networks improve multiple entity pairs relation extraction.
