    • Multi-Way Classification of Semantic Relations Between Pairs of Nominals
  • New York Times (NYT) Corpus [paper] [download]
    • This dataset was generated by aligning Freebase relations with the NYT corpus, with sentences from the years 2005-2006 used as the training corpus and sentences from 2007 used as the testing corpus.
  • FewRel: Few-Shot Relation Classification Dataset [paper] [Website]
    • This dataset is a supervised few-shot relation classification dataset. The corpus is Wikipedia and the knowledge base used to annotate the corpus is Wikidata.
  • TACRED: The TAC Relation Extraction Dataset [paper] [Website] [download]
    • Is a large-scale relation extraction dataset with built over newswire and web text from the corpus used in the yearly TAC Knowledge Base Population (TAC KBP) challenges.
  • ACE05: [Website] [download-info]
    • This dataset represent texts extracted from a variety of sources: broadcast conversation, broadcast news, newsgroups, weblogs. The 6 relation types between 7 types on entities: acility (FAC), Geo-PoliticalEntity (GPE), Location (LOC), Organization (ORG), Person (PER), Vehicle (VEH), Weapon (WEA).
  • SemEval-2018 Task 7 [paper] [Website] [download]
    • The corpus is collected from abstracts and introductions of scientific papers, and there are six types of semantic relations in total. There are three subtasks of it: Subtask 1.1 and Subtask 1.2 are relation classification on clean and noisy data, respectively; Subtask 2 is the standard relation extraction.

Frameworks

  • OpenNRE [github] [paper]
    • Is an open-source and extensible toolkit that provides a unified framework to implement neural models for relation extraction (RE) between named entities. It is designed for various scenarios for RE, including sentence-level RE, bag-level RE, document-level RE, and few-shot RE. It provides various functional RE modules based on both TensorFlow and PyTorch to maintain sufficient modularity and extensibility, making it becomes easy to incorporate new models into the framework.
  • AREkit [github] [research-applicable-paper]
    • Is an open-source and extensible toolkit focused on data preparation for document-level relation extraction organization. It complements the OpenNRE functionality, as in terms of the latter, document-level RE setting is not widely explored (2.4 [paper]). The core functionality includes (1) API for document presentation with EL (Entity Linking, i.e. Object Synonymy) support for sentence level relations preparation (dubbed as contexts) (2) API for contexts extraction (3) relations transferring from sentence-level onto document-level, etc. It provides neural networks (like OpenNRE) and BERT modules, both applicable for sentiment attitude extraction task.
  • DeRE [github] [paper]
    • Is an open-source framework for declaritive relation extraction, and therefore allows to declare your own task (using XML schemas) and apply manually implemented models towards it (using a provided API). The task declaration builds on top of the spans and relations between spans. In terms of the latter, authors propose frames, where every frame yelds of: (1) trigger (span) and (2) n-slots, where every slot may refer to frame or span. The framework poses no theoretical restrictions to the window from which frames are extracted. Thus, this concept may cover sentence-level, document-level and multi-document RE tasks.
