Abstract Extracting valuable information from biomedical texts is one of the current research hotspots of concern to a wide range of scholars. The biomedical corpus contains numerous complex long sentences and overlapping relational triples, making most generalized domain joint modeling methods difficult to apply effectively in this field. For a complex semantic environment in biomedical texts, in this paper, we propose a novel perspective to perform joint entity and relation extraction; existing studies divide the relation triples into several steps or modules. However, the three elements in the relation triples are interdependent and inseparable, so we… More >

Abstract An exhaustive study has been conducted to investigate span-based models for the joint entity and relation extraction task. However, these models sample a large number of negative entities and negative relations during the model training, which are essential but result in grossly imbalanced data distributions and in turn cause suboptimal model performance. In order to address the above issues, we propose a two-phase paradigm for the span-based joint entity and relation extraction, which involves classifying the entities and relations in the first phase, and predicting the types of these entities and relations in the second… More >
