Noise Reduction Framework for Distantly Supervised Relation Extraction with Human in the Loop

Distant supervision is a widely used data labeling method for relation extraction. While aligning knowledge base with the corpus, distant supervision leads to a mass of wrong labels which are defined as noise. The pattern-based denoising model has achieved great progress in selecting trustable sentences (instances). However, the writing of relation-specific patterns heavily relies on expert’s knowledge and is a high labor intensity work. To solve these problems, we propose a noise reduction framework, NOIR, to iteratively select trustable sentences with a little help of a human. Under the guidance of experts, the iterative process can avoid semantic drift. Besides, NOIR can help experts discover relation-specific tokens that are hard to think of. Experimental results on three real-world datasets show the effectiveness of the proposed method compared with state-of-the-art methods.
