Dataset Description

Dataset Summary

NOTE: This Datasetreader supports a reduced version of the original TACRED JSON format with the following changes:

  • Removed fields: stanford_pos, stanford_ner, stanford_head, stanford_deprel, docid

The motivation for this is that we want to support additional languages, for which these fields were not required or available. The reader expects the specification of a language-specific configuration specifying the variant (original or revised) and the language (as a two-letter iso code). The default config is 'original-en'.

You can find the TACRED dataset reader for the original version of the dataset here.

The TAC Relation Extraction Dataset (TACRED) is a large-scale relation extraction dataset with 106,264 examples built over newswire and web text from the corpus used in the yearly TAC Knowledge Base Population (TAC KBP) challenges. Examples in TACRED cover 41 relation types as used in the TAC KBP challenges (e.g., per:schools_attended and org:members) or are labeled as no_relation if no defined relation is held. These examples are created by combining available human annotations from the TAC KBP challenges and crowdsourcing. Please see Stanford's EMNLP paper, or their EMNLP slides for full details.

Note: There is currently a label-corrected version of the TACRED dataset, which you should consider using instead of the original version released in 2017. For more details on this new version, see the TACRED Revisited paper published at ACL 2020.

Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

Languages

The languages in the dataset are Arabic, German, English, Spanish, Finnish, French, Hindi, Hungarian, Japanese, Polish, Russian, Turkish, and Chinese. All languages except English are machine-translated using either Deepl's or Google's translation APIs.

Dataset Structure

Data Instances

  • Size of downloaded dataset files: 62.3 MB
  • Size of the generated dataset: 40.9 MB
  • Total amount of disk used: 103.2 MB

An example of 'train' looks as follows:

{
  "id": "61b3a5c8c9a882dcfcd2",
  "relation": "org:founded_by",
  "token": ["Tom", "Thabane", "resigned", "in", "October", "last", "year", "to", "form", "the", "All", "Basotho", "Convention", "-LRB-", "ABC", "-RRB-", ",", "crossing", "the", "floor", "with", "17", "members", "of", "parliament", ",", "causing", "constitutional", "monarch", "King", "Letsie", "III", "to", "dissolve", "parliament", "and", "call", "the", "snap", "election", "."],
  "subj_start": 10,
  "subj_end": 13,
  "obj_start": 0,
  "obj_end": 2,
  "subj_type": "ORGANIZATION",
  "obj_type": "PERSON"
}

Data Fields

The data fields are the same among all splits.

  • id: the instance id of this sentence
  • token: the list of tokens of this sentence, obtained with the StanfordNLP toolkit.
  • relation: the relation label of this instance.
  • subj_start: the 0-based index of the start token of the relation subject mention.
  • subj_end: the 0-based index of the end token of the relation subject mention, exclusive.
  • subj_type: the NER type of the subject mention, among 23 fine-grained types used in the Stanford NER system.
  • obj_start: the 0-based index of the start token of the relation object mention.
  • obj_end: the 0-based index of the end token of the relation object mention, exclusive.
  • obj_type: the NER type of the object mention, among 23 fine-grained types used in the Stanford NER system.

Data Splits

To miminize dataset bias, TACRED is stratified across years in which the TAC KBP challenge was run. Languages statistics for the splits differ because not all instances could be translated with the subject and object entity markup still intact, these were discarded.

Annotations

Annotation process

See the Stanford paper and the Tacred Revisited paper, plus their appendices.

To ensure that models trained on TACRED are not biased towards predicting false positives on real-world text, all sampled sentences where no relation was found between the mention pairs were fully annotated to be negative examples. As a result, 79.5% of the examples are labeled as no_relation.
