Dataset Card for NYT-multi

Dataset Summary

The original NYT dataset by Riedel et al. (2010) consists of New York Times news articles from 1987-2007 that was distantly annotated with relations using FreeBase. The original dataset consisted of 1.18M sentences. It is available here: https://iesl.cs.umass.edu/riedel/ecml/

Zeng et al. (2018) that filtered out sentences with more than 100 words and sentences without an active relation, leaving 66195 sentences. They randomly selected 5000 sentences from it as the test set, 5000 sentences as the validation set and the rest 56195 sentences are used as train set. The resulting dataset called NYT-multi features overlapping entities across three entity types and 24 relation types. You can access the raw version from Zeng et al. (2018) using datasets.load_dataset("DFKI-SLT/nyt-multi", config="raw"). The original data is available here: https://github.com/xiangrongzeng/copy_re

The data was further pre-processed with the StanfordCoreNLP by Yu et al. (2020): https://github.com/yubowen-ph/JointER

We converted the data into a more readable JSON format and used it for the default version of the dataset.

Languages

The language in the dataset is English.

    abstract = "The relational facts in sentences are often complicated. Different relational triplets may have overlaps in a sentence. We divided the sentences into three types according to triplet overlap degree, including Normal, EntityPairOverlap and SingleEntiyOverlap. Existing methods mainly focus on Normal class and fail to extract relational triplets precisely. In this paper, we propose an end-to-end model based on sequence-to-sequence learning with copy mechanism, which can jointly extract relational facts from sentences of any of these classes. We adopt two different strategies in decoding process: employing only one united decoder or applying multiple separated decoders. We test our models in two public datasets and our model outperform the baseline method significantly.",
