In this paper, researchers propose a new approach to improve the performance of supervised relation extraction (RE) methods by leveraging large-scale silver standard data. Zero-shot RE methods have already shown promise in converting RE tasks into other NLP tasks and achieving high accuracy without relying on extensive annotation efforts. The proposed method involves detecting a small amount of clean data within the silver standard dataset, fine-tuning a pre-trained model using this selected data, and then inferring relation types using the finetuned model. Additionally, the authors introduce a class-aware clean data detection module that considers class information when selecting clean data. Experimental results demonstrate a significant improvement in zero-shot RE task performance on TACRED and Wiki80 datasets, with an increase of 12% and 11%, respectively. By utilizing extra silver standard data from different distributions, the approach can be further optimized.

This paper is about finding a way to make computers better at understanding relationships between things in text. Right now, computers are really good at this task when they have a lot of labeled training data. But what if we didn’t need that much training data? Researchers came up with an idea: take the labeled data and use it to fine-tune a pre-trained model. This means taking a model that was already trained on some other task, but not specifically for this relationship understanding task. Then, they use the fine-tuned model to make predictions about new text. The results show that this approach can work really well, especially when combined with extra data from different sources.
