Abstract

Distantly supervised relation extraction has been widely used to find relational facts in the text. However, distant supervision inevitably brings in noise that can lead to a bad relation contextual representation. In this paper, we propose a deep dilated residual network (DRN) model to address the noise of in distantly supervised relation extraction. Specifically, we design a module which employs dilated convolution in cascade to capture multi-scale context features by adopting multiple dilation rates. By combining them with residual learning, the model is more powerful than traditional CNN model. Our model significantly improves the performance for distantly supervised relation extraction on the large NYT-Freebase dataset compared to various baselines.
