🚀 Quick Start

ReLiK is a lightweight and fast model for Entity Linking and Relation Extraction. It is composed of two main components: a retriever and a reader. The retriever is responsible for retrieving relevant documents from a large collection, while the reader is responsible for extracting entities and relations from the retrieved documents. ReLiK can be used with the from_pretrained method to load a pre-trained pipeline.

Here is an example of how to use ReLiK for Entity Linking:

from relik import Relik
from relik.inference.data.objects import RelikOutput

relik = Relik.from_pretrained("sapienzanlp/relik-entity-linking-large")
relik_out: RelikOutput = relik("Michael Jordan was one of the best players in the NBA.")

RelikOutput(
  text="Michael Jordan was one of the best players in the NBA.",
  tokens=['Michael', 'Jordan', 'was', 'one', 'of', 'the', 'best', 'players', 'in', 'the', 'NBA', '.'],
  id=0,
  spans=[
      Span(start=0, end=14, label="Michael Jordan", text="Michael Jordan"),
      Span(start=50, end=53, label="National Basketball Association", text="NBA"),
  ],
  triples=[],
  candidates=Candidates(
      span=[
          [
              [
                  {"text": "Michael Jordan", "id": 4484083},
                  {"text": "National Basketball Association", "id": 5209815},
                  {"text": "Walter Jordan", "id": 2340190},
                  {"text": "Jordan", "id": 3486773},
                  {"text": "50 Greatest Players in NBA History", "id": 1742909},
                  ...
              ]
          ]
      ]
  ),
)

📊 Performance

We evaluate the performance of ReLiK on Entity Linking using GERBIL. The following table shows the results (InKB Micro F1) of ReLiK Large and Base:

Comparison systems' evaluation (InKB Micro F1) on the in-domain AIDA test set and out-of-domain MSNBC (MSN), Derczynski (Der), KORE50 (K50), N3-Reuters-128 (R128), N3-RSS-500 (R500), OKE-15 (O15), and OKE-16 (O16) test sets. Bold indicates the best model. GENRE uses mention dictionaries. The AIT column shows the time in minutes and seconds (m:s) that the systems need to process the whole AIDA test set using an NVIDIA RTX 4090, except for EntQA which does not fit in 24GB of RAM and for which an A100 is used.
