Conventional relation extraction methods can only identify limited relation classes and not recognize the unseen relation types that have no pre-labeled training data. In this paper, we explore the zero-shot relation extraction to overcome the challenge. The only requisite information about unseen types is the name of their labels. We propose a Parasitic Neural Network (PNN), and it can learn a mapping between the general feature representations of text samples and the distributions of unseen types in a shared semantic space. Experiment results show that our model significantly outperforms others on the unseen relation extraction task and achieves effect improvement more than 20\%, when there are not any manual annotations or additional resources .
Linguistics holds unique characteristics of generality, stability, and nationality, which will affect the formulation of extraction strategies and should be incorporated into the relation extraction. Chinese open relation extraction is not well-established, because of the complexity of Chinese linguistics makes it harder to operate, and the methods for English are not compatible with that for Chinese. The diversities between Chinese and English linguistics are mainly reflected in morphology and syntax .
