Abstract

Relation extraction is the task of finding semantic relations between two entities from the text. In this paper, we propose a novel composite kernel for Chinese relation extraction. The composite kernel is defined as the combination of two independent kernels. One is the entity kernel built upon the non-content-related features. The other is the string semantic similarity kernel concerning the content information. Three combinations, namely linear combination, semi-polynomial combination and polynomial combination are investigated. When evaluated on the ACE 2005 Chinese data set, the results show that the proposed approach is effective.
