An Auxiliary Classifier Generative Adversarial Framework for Relation Extraction

6 Sep 2019  ·  Yun Zhao ·

Relation extraction models suffer from limited qualified training data. Using human annotators to label sentences is too expensive and does not scale well especially when dealing with large datasets. In this paper, we use Auxiliary Classifier Generative Adversarial Networks (AC-GANs) to generate high-quality relational sentences and to improve the performance of relation classifier in end-to-end models. In AC-GAN, the discriminator gives not only a probability distribution over the real source, but also a probability distribution over the relation labels. This helps to generate meaningful relational sentences. Experimental results show that our proposed data augmentation method significantly improves the performance of relation extraction compared to state-of-the-art methods
