# RED<sup>FM</sup>: a Filtered and Multilingual Relation Extraction Dataset

This is a multilingual version of [REBEL](https://huggingface.co/Babelscape/rebel-large). It can be used as a standalone multulingual Relation Extraction system, or as a pretrained system to be tuned on multilingual Relation Extraction datasets.

mREBEL is introduced in the ACL 2023 paper [RED^{FM}: a Filtered and Multilingual Relation Extraction Dataset](https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.09802). We present a new multilingual Relation Extraction dataset and train a multilingual version of REBEL which reframed Relation Extraction as a seq2seq task. The paper can be found [here](https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.09802). If you use the code or model, please reference this work in your paper:

Be aware that the inference widget at the right does not output special tokens, which are necessary to distinguish the subject, object and relation types. For a demo of mREBEL and its pre-training dataset check the [Spaces demo](https://huggingface.co/spaces/Babelscape/mrebel-demo).

## Pipeline usage

```python
from transformers import pipeline

triplet_extractor = pipeline('translation_xx_to_yy', model='Babelscape/mrebel-base', tokenizer='Babelscape/mrebel-base')
# We need to use the tokenizer manually since we need special tokens.
extracted_text = triplet_extractor.tokenizer.batch_decode([triplet_extractor("The Red Hot Chili Peppers were formed in Los Angeles by Kiedis, Flea, guitarist Hillel Slovak and drummer Jack Irons.", src_lang="en", return_tensors=True, return_text=False)[0]["translation_token_ids"]]) # change __en__ for the language of the source.
print(extracted_text[0])
# Function to parse the generated text and extract the triplets
def extract_triplets_typed(text):
    triplets = []
    relation = ''
    text = text.strip()
    current = 'x'
    subject, relation, object_, object_type, subject_type = '','','','',''

    for token in text.replace("<s>", "").replace("<pad>", "").replace("</s>", "").replace("tp_XX", "").replace("__en__", "").split():
        if token == "<triplet>" or token == "<relation>":
            current = 't'
            if relation != '':
                triplets.append({'head': subject.strip(), 'head_type': subject_type, 'type': relation.strip(),'tail': object_.strip(), 'tail_type': object_type})
                relation = ''
            subject = ''
        elif token.startswith("<") and token.endswith(">"):
            if current == 't' or current == 'o':

                    triplets.append({'head': subject.strip(), 'head_type': subject_type, 'type': relation.strip(),'tail': object_.strip(), 'tail_type': object_type})
                object_ = ''
                subject_type = token[1:-1]
            else:
                current = 'o'
                object_type = token[1:-1]
                relation = ''
        else:

                subject += ' ' + token
            elif current == 's':
                object_ += ' ' + token
            elif current == 'o':
                relation += ' ' + token
    if subject != '' and relation != '' and object_ != '' and object_type != '' and subject_type != '':
        triplets.append({'head': subject.strip(), 'head_type': subject_type, 'type': relation.strip(),'tail': object_.strip(), 'tail_type': object_type})
    return triplets
extracted_triplets = extract_triplets_typed(extracted_text[0])
print(extracted_triplets)
```
