构建去偏基准DREB,让关系抽取模型摆脱实体名称依赖。

Rethinking Relation Extraction: Beyond Shortcuts to Generalization with a Debiased Benchmark

  • 通过替换实体名打破实体与关系的虚假关联
  • 新方法MixDebias在去偏数据上提升模型泛化能力
  • 适合关注模型真实推理能力的研究者

基准测试对评估机器学习算法性能至关重要,但数据集中的偏差会导致模型学习捷径模式,造成评估失真并限制实际应用。本文针对关系抽取任务中的实体偏差问题,提出去偏基准DREB,通过实体替换打破实体提及与关系类型之间的伪相关性。DREB采用偏差评估器和PPL评估器确保低偏差与高自然度,为实体偏差场景下的模型泛化能力提供可靠评估。为在DREB上建立新基线,提出混合去偏方法MixDebias,结合数据层与训练层技术,在提升DREB上表现的同时保持原数据集性能。大量实验表明,MixDebias优于现有方法,具备更强的鲁棒性与有效性。DREB与MixDebias将公开发布。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Benchmarks are crucial for evaluating machine learning algorithm performance, facilitating comparison and identifying superior solutions. However, biases within datasets can lead models to learn shortcut patterns, resulting in inaccurate assessments and hindering real-world applicability. This paper addresses the issue of entity bias in relation extraction tasks, where models tend to rely on entity mentions rather than context. We propose a debiased relation extraction benchmark DREB that breaks the pseudo-correlation between entity mentions and relation types through entity replacement. DREB utilizes Bias Evaluator and PPL Evaluator to ensure low bias and high naturalness, providing a reliable and accurate assessment of model generalization in entity bias scenarios. To establish a new baseline on DREB, we introduce MixDebias, a debiasing method combining data-level and model training-level techniques. MixDebias effectively improves model performance on DREB while maintaining performance on the original dataset. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of MixDebias compared to existing methods, highlighting its potential for improving the generalization ability of relation extraction models. We will release DREB and MixDebias publicly.
