Therefore, it should be recognized by the skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the disclosure. Meanwhile, for clarity and conciseness, descriptions for well-known functions and structures are omitted in the following description.
From the perspective of constructing a knowledge graph, the entity relation may represent an edge that associates nodes representing entities, which belongs to a knowledge with strong schema and improves connectivity of the knowledge graph. From the perspective of products and applications, the entity relation data is one of the most important information of the entity, which marks a bridge to other entity. The entity relation data may directly satisfy requirements of users on entity association, effectively improve people's efficiency in searching and browsing entities, and improve user experience. Typical products and applications of the entity relation data include entity question and answer and entity recommendation. However, annotated training data for training the extraction model and the test data in the real scene have inconsistencies in distribution. The training data constructed through remote supervision and crowdsourced annotation manners is not complete, and has omissions or is not accurate. This problem affects the training effect of the model.
In the related art, two manners are usually used for extracting SPOs: (1) extracting SPOs through mining templates, where this manner manually configures mining templates for specific websites or fixed syntax rules, such as well-defined webpage regular templates and syntactic rules for targeted extraction on fixed structure data in webpages; (2) extracting SPOs through a single extraction model, where this manner achieve SPO extraction function through a single deep learning model by using words, word segmentations, part of speech, and other information in sentences.
In the process of implementing this application n, the inventors found that at least the following problems existing in the related art as follows.
For the manner (1), the target templates need to be manually configured, thus labor costs may be large, and further it is difficult to cover all the targets in the real scene, resulting in a low recall rate; for the manner (2), when the annotated training data for training the extraction model is inconsistent with the test data in the real scene, the single extraction model cannot cover all the effective features in the training data well, resulting in the low recall rate.
In view of the above, embodiments of the disclosure propose a method for extracting SPO (subject, predication, object) triples, an apparatus for extracting SPO triples, an electronic device, and a storage medium, which can not only effectively increase a recall rate of SPOs, but also save labor costs and improve extraction efficiency.

In some embodiments of the disclosure, the electronic device may input the annotated training data into multiple extraction models respectively, and predict the SPO triples satisfying defined relations in the annotated training data through multiple extraction models respectively. In detail, the electronic device may first annotate the unannotated training data, and then input the annotated training data into multiple extraction models respectively. It is assumed that there are N extraction models in the disclosure, i.e., extraction model 1, extraction model 2, . . . , extraction model N, where N is a natural number greater than 1. In this action, the electronic device may input the annotated training data into extraction model 1, extraction model 2, . . . , extraction model N, respectively. Extraction model 1 may employ operator 1 to predict the SPO triples that satisfy defined relations in the annotated training data; extraction model 2 may employ operator 2 to predict the SPO triples that satisfy defined relations in the annotated training data; and the like.
At block S102, the predicted SPO triples corresponding to each of multiple extraction models are combined, and SPO triples satisfying screening conditions are extracted from the combined SPO triples.
In some embodiments of the disclosure, the electronic device may combine the SPO triples predicted by each of multiple extraction models, and extract the SPO triples satisfying screening conditions from the combined SPO triples.

In some embodiments of the disclosure, the electronic device may extract the SPO triples satisfying screening conditions from the combined SPO triples through the following two manners.

The second manner is a classification model strategy: inputting each SPO triple in the combined SPO triples into a classification model; classing each SPO triple in the combined SPO triples into a first category or a second category through the classification model; and determining SPO triples of the first category or SPO triples of the second category as the SPO triples satisfying screening conditions. In detail, in the classification model strategy, each SPO triple may be classified into a correct category or an incorrect category through the classification model, and then the SPO triples classified into the correct category may be determined as the SPO triples that satisfy screening conditions.

The method for extracting SPO triples, provided in embodiments of the disclosure, first may input the annotated training data into multiple extraction models respectively, and predict the SPO triples satisfying defined relations in the annotated training data through multiple extraction models respectively; then combine the predicted SPO triples corresponding to each of multiple extraction models, and extract the SPO triples satisfying screening conditions from the combined SPO triples; and if the SPO triples satisfying screening conditions do not satisfy the output conditions, mine the SPO triples with missing annotations from the annotated training data based on the SPO triples satisfying screening conditions; and then supplement the SPO triples with missing annotations into the annotated training data, and repeat the above actions until the SPO triples satisfying screening conditions satisfy the output conditions. That is, the disclosure may add the SPO triples with missing annotations into the annotated training data, input the supplemented annotated training data into multiple extraction models respectively, and the above actions are repeated until the SPO triples satisfying screening conditions satisfy the output conditions. Therefore, the recall rate of SPO triples may be improved. In the related SPO extraction method, such as extraction through mining templates or through the single extraction model, it will lead to the low recall rate. Because the disclosure employs multiple extraction models to predict the training data separately, and supplements the SPO triples with missing annotations into the annotated training data, which overcomes the technical problems of low recall rate and high labor costs in the related art, thereby effectively improving the recall rate of SPO triples, saving the labor costs, and improving extraction efficiency.

The inputting module is configured to input annotated training data into the extraction model module.
The extraction model module is configured to extract all SPOs that satisfy defined relations from the annotated training data when the annotated training data is inputted. This module supports the addition of multiple extraction operators, that is, multiple extraction models may be employed to obtain the results separately. It is also easy to extend the operators. At present, the main methods of the extraction model module may fall into the following three categories: (1) a pipeline structure model, which may first perform a multi-label relation classification based on biLSTM, and label S and O entity arguments through a biLSTM-CRF sequence labeling model based on the relation type; (2) the joint extraction of semi-pointer-semi-labeled structure based on the expanded convolutional neural network for joint annotation, which first predicts S, and then predicts O and P simultaneously based on S; (3) the joint extraction based on the hierarchical reinforcement learning model, which may decompose the extraction task into a hierarchical structure of two subtasks, i.e., multiple relations in the sentence may be recognized based on the high-level layer of relation detection, and the low-level layer of entity extraction is triggered to extract the related entities of each relation.
The multi-model fusion module is configured to, for all SPOs predicted by multiple extraction models for each training data, call the multi-model fusion operator to select the best multi-model fusion. In this module, the extraction results of multiple extraction operators in the previous module may be easily extended to participate in the selection of the best. The current common practices of the multi-model fusion module are voting and classification. The voting strategy is to count the number of times that the SPO is predicted by the extraction models and the SPO with more votes may be selected as the final result. The classification model strategy is to consider whether to output the SPO as a two-class problem, and predict whether each SPO is an SPO that satisfy screening conditions.
The post-processing module is configured to control the quality of the SPOs outputted by the multi-model fusion module, including conflict verification and syntax-based pattern mining, to improve the accuracy and recall rate of the final outputted SPOs. The conflict verification mainly includes Schema verification, relation conflict detection, strategies of correcting the entity recognition boundary, and the like, aiming to improve the accuracy of the extraction system. The syntax-based pattern mining is to identify syntactic and morphological features and mine SPOs in the sentence by setting specific patterns manually, expanding the recall rate of the extraction system.
The annotated quality of the training data will have an impact on the model effect when the extraction model is trained. The data enhancement module is configured to, improve the quality of the training data through the data enhancement manner. The specific method is to use the trained model to predict the sentences in the training data, and after the processing of the multi-model fusion module and the post-processing module, output the SPOs with missing annotations in the previous training data and add this part of the SPOs to the annotated result of the training data, improving the recall rate of training data. In addition, the annotation of the SPO that is not predicted by all models in the training data to improve the accuracy of the training data. In this way, using this revised training data to retrain and merge the model may effectively improve the effect of the extraction system.
The outputting module is configured to output the SPOs that satisfy the output conditions if the SPOs that satisfy the screening conditions satisfy the output conditions.
The external dependency module is configured to provide external support for the extraction model module, which may include the following deep learning frameworks: word segmentation and part-of-speech tagging tools, Pytorch, keras, Paddle. The extraction model module can be implemented using the above deep learning framework.
The disclosure aims to introduce a variety of extraction models, multi-model fusion and data enhancement into the relation extraction system framework for incomplete data sets. On the one hand, it may reduce the labor costs of manually setting patterns, and use deep learning models to unify all SPOs. On the other hand, a variety of effective features in the original data sets can be enhanced, and the overall system recall can be improved while ensuring accuracy.
The method for extracting SPO triples, provided in embodiments of the disclosure, first may input the annotated training data into multiple extraction models respectively, and predict the SPO triples satisfying defined relations in the annotated training data through multiple extraction models respectively; then combine the predicted SPO triples corresponding to each of multiple extraction models, and extract the SPO triples satisfying screening conditions from the combined SPO triples; and if the SPO triples satisfying screening conditions do not satisfy the output conditions, mine the SPO triples with missing annotations from the annotated training data based on the SPO triples satisfying screening conditions; and then supplement the SPO triples with missing annotations into the annotated training data, and repeat the above actions until the SPO triples satisfying screening conditions satisfy the output conditions. That is, the disclosure may add the SPO triples with missing annotations into the annotated training data, input the supplemented annotated training data into multiple extraction models respectively, and the above actions are repeated until the SPO triples satisfying screening conditions satisfy the output conditions. Therefore, the recall rate of SPO triples may be improved. In the related SPO extraction method, such as extraction through mining templates or through the single extraction model, it will lead to the low recall rate. Because the disclosure employs multiple extraction models to predict the training data separately, and supplements the SPO triples with missing annotations into the annotated training data, which overcomes the technical problems of low recall rate and high labor costs in the related art, thereby effectively improving the recall rate of SPO triples, saving the labor costs, and improving extraction efficiency. Moreover, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the disclosure are simple and convenient to implement, easy to popularize, and have a wider application range.
