Re-DocRED Dataset
This repository contains the dataset of our EMNLP 2022 research paper Revisiting DocRED – Addressing the False Negative Problem in Relation Extraction.
DocRED is a widely used benchmark for document-level relation extraction. However, the DocRED dataset contains a significant percentage of false negative examples (incomplete annotation). We revised 4,053 documents in the DocRED dataset and resolved its problems. We released this dataset as: Re-DocRED dataset.
The Re-DocRED Dataset resolved the following problems of DocRED:
- Resolved the incompleteness problem by supplementing large amounts of relation triples.
- Addressed the logical inconsistencies in DocRED.
- Corrected the coreferential errors within DocRED.
Statistics of Re-DocRED
The Re-DocRED dataset is located as ./data directory, the statistics of the dataset are shown below:
