Entity Concept-enhanced Few-shot Relation Extraction

Code is being updated

This code is the source code of our paper "Entity Concept-enhanced Few-shot Relation Extraction" in the ACL2021.

Our code is based on Bert-Pair.

Requirements

 conda env create -f environment.yml

Checkpoint, Data files used in the code

Since the files are very large, they are placed on the Beihang cloud disk.

Training data

For the Details of training data, you can refer to FewRel: https://thunlp.github.io/2/fewrel2_da.html.

How the code is executed

Example:

python train_demo.py --trainN 5 --N 5 --K 1 --Q 1 --model pair --encoder bert --pair --hidden_size 768 --val_step 1000  --save_ckpt checkpoint/5way1shot.ConceptFere.pth.tar --batch_size 1 --grad_iter 4  --optim adam --fp16 --id_from MultiHeadAttentionAndBeyondWordEmbedding > 5way1shot.ConceptFere.log 2>&1

--trainN --N --K --Q: N-way-K-shot.

--model: specify the name of the model, such as proto, pair, etc.

--id_from: specify the source of the pre-trained concept embedding.

--grad_iter: in the case of insufficient GPU memory, set a small batchsize accumulate gradient every x iterations.

--fp16: use nvidia apex fp16.
