Model Details

Model Name: LSR

• Description: This is a neural network that induces a latent document-level graph and uses a refinement strategy that allows the model to incrementally aggregate relevant information for multi-hop reasoning. This particular model corresponds to the GloVe+LSR model described in the paper.

How to Get Started With the Model

Install Python package

SGnlp is an initiative by AI Singapore's NLP Hub. They aim to bridge the gap between research and industry, promote translational research, and encourage adoption of NLP techniques in the industry. <br><br> Various NLP models, other than relation extraction are available in the python package. You can try them out at SGNLP-Demo | SGNLP-Github.

pip install sgnlp

Examples

For more full code (such as Relation-Extraction), please refer to this github. <br> Alternatively, you can also try out the SGNLP-Demo | SGNLP-Docs for Relation extraction using LSR model.

Example of Relation Extraction (using LSR model):

from sgnlp.models.lsr import LsrModel, LsrConfig, LsrPreprocessor, LsrPostprocessor
from transformers import cached_path

# Download files from azure blob storage
rel2id_path = cached_path('https://storage.googleapis.com/sgnlp-models/models/lsr/rel2id.json')
word2id_path = cached_path('https://storage.googleapis.com/sgnlp-models/models/lsr/word2id.json')
ner2id_path = cached_path('https://storage.googleapis.com/sgnlp-models/models/lsr/ner2id.json')
rel_info_path = cached_path('https://storage.googleapis.com/sgnlp-models/models/lsr/rel_info.json')

PRED_THRESHOLD = 0.3
preprocessor = LsrPreprocessor(rel2id_path=rel2id_path, word2id_path=word2id_path, ner2id_path=ner2id_path)
postprocessor = LsrPostprocessor.from_file_paths(rel2id_path=rel2id_path, rel_info_path=rel_info_path,
                                                 pred_threshold=PRED_THRESHOLD)

# Load model
config = LsrConfig.from_pretrained('https://storage.googleapis.com/sgnlp-models/models/lsr/v2/config.json')
model = LsrModel.from_pretrained('https://storage.googleapis.com/sgnlp-models/models/lsr/v2/pytorch_model.bin', config=config)
model.eval()

Training

The training datasets can be retrieved from Permuted dataset derived from Linguistic Data Consortium's (LDC) Wall Street Journal (WSJ) dataset. Please contact the authors to get the dataset if you have a valid LDC license.

Training Results

• Training Time: ~17 hours for 100 epochs on a single V100 GPU.
• Datasets: Retrieved from DocRED
• Training Config: Not available.

Model Parameters

• Model Weights: link
• Model Config: link
• Model Inputs: Coreference clusters of entities, relations between clusters of entities, and text.
• Model Outputs: Scores of all possible relation labels between all possible pairs of entity clusters.
• Model Size: ~85MB
• Model Inference Info: Not available.
• Usage Scenarios: Knowledge graph building.

Other Information

• Original Code: link
• Additional Information: CAVEATS: The model trained in this paper alone is not sufficient to do extract relations from a document. It requires other models to perform entity recognition and coreference between the entities. For this demo, two other pretrained models from AllenNLP is used: Fine Grained Name Entity Recognition and Coreference SpanBERT.
