Entity Recognition and Relation Extraction from Scientific and Technical Texts in Russian (2011.09817v3)

Abstract: This paper is devoted to the study of methods for information extraction (entity recognition and relation classification) from scientific texts on information technology. Scientific publications provide valuable information into cutting-edge scientific advances, but efficient processing of increasing amounts of data is a time-consuming task. In this paper, several modifications of methods for the Russian language are proposed. It also includes the results of experiments comparing a keyword extraction method, vocabulary method, and some methods based on neural networks. Text collections for these tasks exist for the English language and are actively used by the scientific community, but at present, such datasets in Russian are not publicly available. In this paper, we present a corpus of scientific texts in Russian, RuSERRC. This dataset consists of 1600 unlabeled documents and 80 labeled with entities and semantic relations (6 relation types were considered). The dataset and models are available at https://github.com/iis-research-team. We hope they can be useful for research purposes and development of information extraction systems.
