Abstract

In this paper, a machine learning based Relation Extraction experiments for data from Arabic language are presented. There were 6 Types of relations involved in the experiments and 18 Sub-Types. By this work, a baseline for statistical Relation Extraction for Arabic is being created, with .85 acc., testing on 10-folds for the ACE 2005 Multilingual Training Data V6.0. Several factors contributed to the enhancements of accuracy for the testing data, especially the morphological and POS information using MaxEnt classifiers.
