GLiDRE: Generalist Lightweight model for Document-level Relation Extraction
This addresses the challenge of limited training data for document-level relation extraction, which is incremental as it builds on existing supervised models but focuses on data-constrained scenarios.
The paper tackles the problem of document-level relation extraction in low-resource settings by introducing GLiDRE, a compact model that outperforms existing methods in both supervised and few-shot scenarios, establishing a new state-of-the-art in few-shot document-level relation extraction.
Relation Extraction (RE) is a fundamental task in Natural Language Processing, and its document-level variant poses significant challenges, due to complex interactions between entities across sentences. While supervised models have achieved strong results in fully resourced settings, their behavior with limited training data remains insufficiently studied. We introduce GLiDRE, a new compact model for document-level relation extraction, designed to work efficiently in both supervised and few-shot settings. Experiments in both low-resource supervised training and few-shot meta-learning benchmarks show that our approach outperforms existing methods in data-constrained scenarios, establishing a new state-of-the-art in few-shot document-level relation extraction. Our code will be publicly available.
