An Empirical Study on Relation Extraction in the Biomedical Domain
Relation extraction is a fundamental problem in natural language processing. Most existing models are defined for relation extraction in the general domain. However, their performance on specific domains (e.g., biomedicine) is yet unclear. To fill this gap, this paper carries out an empirical study on relation extraction in biomedical research articles. Specifically, we consider both sentence-level and document-level relation extraction, and run a few state-of-the-art methods on several benchmark datasets. Our results show that (1) current document-level relation extraction methods have strong generalization ability; (2) existing methods require a large amount of labeled data for model fine-tuning in biomedicine. Our observations may inspire people in this field to develop more effective models for biomedical relation extraction.
