Dataset Description

Dataset Summary

Semeval2018Task7 is a dataset that describes the Semantic Relation Extraction and Classification in Scientific Papers. The challenge focuses on domain-specific semantic relations and includes three different subtasks. The subtasks were designed so as to compare and quantify the effect of different pre-processing steps on the relation classification results. We expect the task to be relevant for a broad range of researchers working on extracting specialized knowledge from domain corpora, for example but not limited to scientific or bio-medical information extraction. The task attracted a total of 32 participants, with 158 submissions across different scenarios.

The three subtasks are:

  • Subtask 1.1: Relation classification on clean data

    • In the training data, semantic relations are manually annotated between entities.
    • In the test data, only entity annotations and unlabeled relation instances are given.
    • Given a scientific publication, The task is to predict the semantic relation between the entities.
  • Subtask 1.2: Relation classification on noisy data

    • Entity occurrences are automatically annotated in both the training and the test data.
    • The task is to predict the semantic relation between the entities.
  • Subtask 2: Metrics for the extraction and classification scenario

    • Evaluation of relation extraction
    • Evaluation of relation classification

The Relations types are USAGE, RESULT, MODEL, PART_WHOLE, TOPIC, COMPARISION.

The following example shows a text snippet with the information provided in the test data: Korean, a <entity id=”H01-1041.10”>verb final language</entity>with<entity id=”H01-1041.11”>overt case markers</entity>(...)

  • A relation instance is identified by the unique identifier of the entities in the pair, e.g.(H01-1041.10, H01-1041.11)
  • The information to be predicted is the relation class label: MODEL-FEATURE(H01-1041.10, H01-1041.11). For details, see the paper https://aclanthology.org/S18-1111/.

  "abstract": 'At MIT Lincoln Laboratory, we have been developing a Korean-to-English machine translation system CCLINC (Common Coalition Language System at Lincoln Laboratory) . The CCLINC Korean-to-English translation system consists of two core modules , language understanding and generation modules mediated by a language neutral meaning representation called a semantic frame . The key features of the system include: (i) Robust efficient parsing of Korean (a verb final language with overt case markers , relatively free word order , and frequent omissions of arguments ). (ii) High quality translation via word sense disambiguation and accurate word order generation of the target language . (iii) Rapid system development and porting to new domains via knowledge-based automated acquisition of grammars . Having been trained on Korean newspaper articles on missiles and chemical biological warfare, the system produces the translation output sufficient for content understanding of the original document.

 'title': '\nA LAF/GrAF based Encoding Scheme for underspecified Representations of syntactic Annotations.\n',
 'abstract': 'Data models and encoding formats for syntactically annotated text corpora need to deal with syntactic ambiguity; underspecified representations are particularly well suited for the representation of ambiguousdata because they allow for high informational efficiency. We discuss the issue of being informationally efficient, and the trade-off between efficient encoding of linguistic annotations and complete documentation of linguistic analyses. The main topic of this article is adata model and an encoding scheme based on LAF/GrAF ( Ide and  Romary, 2006 ; Ide and  Suderman, 2007 ) which provides a flexible framework for encoding underspecified representations. We show how a set of dependency structures and a set of TiGer graphs ( Brants et al., 2002 ) representing the readings of an ambiguous sentence can be encoded, and we discuss basic issues in querying corpora which are encoded using the framework presented here.\n',
