Abstract

Information extraction is an important task in natural language processing. In this paper, we introduce our solution on NLPCC 2019 shared task 3 Information Extraction which has provided with the largest industry Schema based Knowledge Extraction (SKE) data-set. Our proposed method is an end-to-end framework which first catches the relation hints in raw text with a relation proposal layer, then follows by an entity tagging design which is targeted to decode the corresponding triplet entities with the given relation proposal. Compared with previous works, our method is efficient and can well handle overlapping and multiple triplets in one sentence. With a simple model ensemble, our solution achieves 0.8903 F1-Score on final leaderboard which ranks forth among all participants.
