A Study on Double-Headed Entities and Relations Prediction Framework for Joint Triple Extraction

Relational triple extraction, a fundamental procedure in natural language processing knowledge graph construction, assumes a crucial and irreplaceable role in the domain of academic research related to information extraction. In this paper, we propose a Double-Headed Entities and Relations Prediction (DERP) framework, which divides the entity recognition process into two stages: head entity recognition and tail entity recognition, using the obtained head and tail entities as inputs. By utilizing the corresponding relation and the corresponding entity, the DERP framework further incorporates a triple prediction module to improve the accuracy and completeness of the joint relation triple extraction. We conducted experiments on two English datasets, NYT and WebNLG, and two Chinese datasets, DuIE2.0 and CMeIE-V2, and compared the English dataset experimental results with those derived from ten baseline models. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed DERP framework for triple extraction.
