A novel knowledge extraction method based on deep learning in fruit domain

Knowledge extraction aims to identify entities and extract relations between them from unstructured text, which are in the form of triplets. Analysis of the fruit nutrition domain corpus revealed many overlapping triplets, that is, multiple correspondences between a subject and multiple objects or the same subject and object. The current relevant methods mainly target the extraction of ordinary triplets, which cannot accurately identify overlapping triplets. To solve this problem, a deep learning based model for overlapping triplet extraction is proposed in this study. The relation is modeled as a function that maps a subject to an object. The hybrid information of the subject is entered into the relation-object extraction model to detect the object and relation. The experimental results show this model outperforms existing extraction models and achieves state-of-the-art performance on the manually labeled fruit nutrition domain dataset. In terms of application value, the proposed work can obtain a high-quality and structured fruit nutrition knowledge base, which provides application fundamentals for downstream applications of nutrition matching.
