Document-level RE requires reading, inferring and aggregating over multiple sentences. From our point of view, it is necessary for document-level RE to take advantage of multi-granularity inference information: entity level, sentence level and document level. Thus, how to obtain and aggregate the inference information with different granularity is challenging for document-level RE, which has not been considered by previous work. In this paper, we propose a Hierarchical Inference Network (HIN) to make full use of the abundant information from entity level, sentence level and document level. Translation constraint and bilinear transformation are applied to target entity pair in multiple subspaces to get entity-level inference information. Next, we model the inference between entity-level information and sentence representation to achieve sentence-level inference information. Finally, a hierarchical aggregation approach is adopted to obtain the document-level inference information. In this way, our model can effectively aggregate inference information from these three different granularities. Experimental results show that our method achieves state-of-the-art performance on the largescale DocRED dataset. We also demonstrate that using BERT representations can further substantially boost the performance.
Sentence-level extractive text summarization is substantially a node classification task of network mining, adhering to the informative components and concise representations. There are lots of redundant phrases between extracted sentences, but it is difficult to model them exactly by the general supervised methods. Previous sentence encoders, especially BERT, specialize in modeling the relationship between source sentences. While, they have no ability to consider the overlaps of the target selected summary, and there are inherent dependencies among target labels of sentences. In this paper, we propose HAHSum (as shorthand for Hierarchical Attentive Heterogeneous Graph for Text Summarization), which well models different levels of information, including words and sentences, and spotlights redundancy dependencies between sentences. Our approach iteratively refines the sentence representations with redundancy-aware graph and delivers the label dependencies by message passing. Experiments on large scale benchmark corpus (CNN/DM, NYT, and NEWSROOM) demonstrate that HAHSum yields ground-breaking performance and outperforms previous extractive summarizers.
Document-level relation extraction (RE) poses new challenges over its sentence-level counterpart since it requires an adequate comprehension of the whole document and the multi-hop reasoning ability across multiple sentences to reach the final result. In this paper, we propose a novel graphbased model with Dual-tier Heterogeneous Graph (DHG) for document-level RE. In particular, DHG is composed of a structure modeling layer followed by a relation reasoning layer. The major advantage is that it is capable of not only capturing both the sequential and structural information of documents but also mixing them together to benefit for multi-hop reasoning and final decisionmaking. Furthermore, we employ Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) based message propagation strategy to accumulate information on DHG. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves state-of-the-art performance on two widely used datasets, and further analyses suggest that all the modules in our model are indispensable for document-level RE.

Few-shot classification tends to struggle when it needs to adapt to diverse domains. Due to the non-overlapping label space between domains, the performance of conventional domain adaptation is limited. Previous work tackles the problem in a transductive manner, by assuming access to the full set of test data, which is too restrictive for many real-world applications. In this paper, we set out to tackle this issue by introducing a inductive framework, DaFeC, to improve Domain adaptation performance for Few-shot classification via Clustering. We first build a representation extractor to derive features for unlabeled data from the target domain (no test data is necessary) and then group them with a cluster miner. The generated pseudo-labeled data and the labeled source-domain data are used as supervision to update the parameters of the few-shot classifier. In order to derive high-quality pseudo labels, we propose a Clustering Promotion Mechanism, to learn better features for the target domain via Similarity Entropy Minimization and Adversarial Distribution Alignment, which are combined with a Cosine Annealing Strategy. Experiments are performed on the FewRel 2.0 dataset. Our approach outperforms previous work with absolute gains (in classification accuracy) of 4.95%, 9.55%, 3.99% and 11.62%, respectively, under four few-shot settings.
