41 - Cross-Sentence N-ary Relation Extraction with Graph LSTMs, with Nanyun (Violet) Peng

TACL 2017 paper, by Nanyun Peng, Hoifung Poon, Chris Quirk,
Kristina Toutanova, and Wen-tau Yih. Most relation extraction work
focuses on binary relations, like (Seattle, located in,
Washington), because extracting n-ary relations is difficult.
Nanyun (Violet) and her colleagues came up with a model to extract
n-ary relations, focusing on drug-mutation-gene interactions, using
graph LSTMs (a construct pretty similar to graph CNNs, which was
developed around the same time). Nanyun comes on the podcast to
tell us about her work.
