Abstract
In the realm of traditional representation learning for Natural Language
Processing (NLP) tasks, the prevalent approach involves leveraging large
language models like BERT, GPT-2, XLNet, and others, which demonstrate
their prowess when trained on extensive datasets. However, the quest for
effective representation learning becomes a formidable challenge when
data is scarce or costly to acquire, such as in specialised domains and
low-resource languages. This challenge stems from the scarcity of
suitable algorithms and the inherent difficulties in learning
representations from limited data. In this study, we introduce a novel
and groundbreaking technique, the Attention-sequence Bidirectional Long
Short-Term Memory (ABiLSTM), to tackle this challenge head-on. This
method amalgamates the strengths of attention mechanisms and
bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, bolstering the
model’s ability to capture intricate patterns and dependencies within
sequential data, particularly in scenarios involving small or
constrained datasets. Through empirical analysis, we delve into the
intricate dynamics of neural network architectures, specifically
examining the impact of varying numbers of hidden layers and the
occurrence of training errors. These aspects are scrutinised in the
context of unsupervised pretraining methods, with a focus on their
effectiveness in generating robust and informative representations for
open relation extraction tasks. Furthermore, we propose the use of
knowledge graph techniques to tackle the challenge of imbalanced data
during information extraction processes. Our study demonstrates that the
use of ABiLSTM yields superior results in open relation extraction
tasks, even when dealing with small or limited datasets. This
advancement represents a significant contribution to the fields of
natural language understanding and information extraction.
