Abstract

This paper studies the problem of mining relational data hidden in natural language text. In particular, it approaches the relation classification problem with the strategy of transductive learning. Different algorithms are presented and empirically evaluated on the ACE corpus. We show that transductive learners exploiting various lexical and syntactic features can achieve promising classification performance. More importantly, transductive learning performance can be significantly improved by using an induced similarity function.
