  • Document-Level Relation Extraction with Dual-Tier Heterogeneous Graph
    Document-level Relation Extraction with Dual-tier Heterogeneous Graph Zhenyu Zhang, Bowen Yu, Xiaobo Shu, Tingwen Liu,∗ Hengzhu Tang, Yubin Wang and Li Guo Institute of Information Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China School of Cyber Security, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China fzhangzhenyu1996,yubowen,shuxiaobo,[email protected] ftanghengzhu,wangyubin,[email protected] Abstract Document-level relation extraction (RE) poses new challenges over its sentence-level counterpart since it requires an adequate comprehension of the whole document and the multi-hop reasoning ability across multiple sentences to reach the final result. In this paper, we propose a novel graph- based model with Dual-tier Heterogeneous Graph (DHG) for document-level RE. In particular, DHG is composed of a structure modeling layer followed by a relation reasoning layer. The major advantage is that it is capable of not only capturing both the sequential and structural information of documents but also mixing them together to benefit for multi-hop reasoning and final decision- making. Furthermore, we employ Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) based message propagation strategy to accumulate information on DHG. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves state-of-the-art performance on two widely used datasets, and further analyses suggest that all the modules in our model are indispensable for document-level RE. 1 Introduction Relation extraction (RE), which aims to identify relational facts between entities from plain text, is one of the most fundamental tasks in information extraction (IE) and natural language processing (NLP). Existing methods usually focus on extracting relations from a single sentence (i.e., sentence-level RE) (Soares et al., 2019; Yu et al., 2019; Zhang et al., 2020a).

Since the last newsletter, we have had the annual general meeting and three committee stalwarts have decided to retire. There has been a re-shuffle of the committee, and whereas I am still president, Peter Moon is now vice-president. Taking over the secretarial duties is Eugenie McCabe, who recently joined us and Alex Chang and Sam Kwok have taken over the property management. The Moon Festival dinner at the Dragon’s Restaurant was well attended though numbers were slightly down from last year probably due to the fact that other organisations all had their celebrations on the same day.

  • War, Politics and Society Inearly Modern China, 900-1795
    War, Politics and Society in Early Modern China, 900–1795 In this new take on China’s early modern history, Peter Lorge presents a fresh overview of the repeated recreation of the Chinese empire through military force. Emphasizing the relationship between the military and politics, and China’s power as an empire, Lorge argues that the strength of the territorial claims and political impact of each dynasty were determined primarily by their military capacity rather than by their cultural characteristics. Using a chronological narrative, War, Politics and Society in Early Modern China, 900–1795 breaks free of the dynastic boundaries that shape much scholarship in this area, focusing instead on the growing power of local elites. This power eventually led to a system of loose central control – to the sacrifice of real, centralized power over local affairs. Ideal for students of military and Asian studies, War, Politics and Society in Early Modern China, 900–1795 is essential reading for anyone interested in the military history of China. Peter Lorge is Senior Lecturer in Chinese History and Film at Vanderbilt University.

  • Social Recommendation in Heterogeneous Evolving Relation Network
    Social Recommendation in Heterogeneous Evolving Relation Network Bo Jiang 1, Zhigang Lu 1,2, Yuling Liu 1,2, Ning Li1, Zelin Cui1 1 Institute of Information Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China 2 School of Cyber Security, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China fjiangbo,luzhigang,liuyuling,[email protected] Abstract. The appearance and growth of social networking brings an exponential growth of information. One of the main solutions proposed for this information overload problem are recommender systems, which provide personalized results. Most existing social recommendation ap- proaches consider relation information to improve recommendation per- formance in the static context. However, relations are likely to evolve over time in the dynamic network. Therefore, temporal information is an essential ingredient to making social recommendation. In this paper, we propose a novel social recommendation model based on evolving re- lation network, named SoERec. The learned evolving relation network is a heterogeneous information network, where the strength of relation between users is a sum of the influence of all historical events. We in- corporate temporally evolving relations into the recommendation algo- rithm. We empirically evaluate the proposed method on two widely-used datasets. Experimental results show that the proposed model outper- forms the state-of-the-art social recommendation methods. Keywords: Social recommendation · Dynamic evolving · Relation net- work · Network embedding. 1 Introduction The last decades have witnessed the booming of social networking such as Twit- ter and Facebook. User-generated content such as text, images, and videos has been posted by users on these platforms. Social users is suffering from informa- tion overload.
