Improved relation extraction through key phrase identification using community detection on dependency trees

A method for extracting relations from sentences by utilizing their dependency trees to identify key phrases is presented in this paper. Dependency trees are commonly used in natural language processing to represent the grammatical structure of a sentence, and this approach builds upon this representation to extract meaningful relations between phrases. Identifying key phrases is crucial in relation extraction as they often indicate the entities and actions involved in a relation. The method uses community detection algorithms on the dependency tree to identify groups of related words that form key phrases, such as subject-verb-object structures. The experiments on the Semeval-2010 task8 dataset and the TACRED dataset demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms existing baseline methods.
