Joint Extraction Method for Hydraulic Engineering Entity Relations Based on Multi-Features

Abstract

During the joint extraction of entity and relationship from the operational management data of hydraulic engineering, complex sentences containing multiple triplets and overlapping entity relations often arise. However, traditional joint extraction models suffer from a single-feature representation approach, which hampers the effectiveness of entity relation extraction in complex sentences within hydraulic engineering datasets. To address this issue, this study proposes a multi-feature joint entity relation extraction method based on global context mechanism and graph convolutional neural networks. This method builds upon the Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) pre-trained model and utilizes a bidirectional gated recurrent unit (BiGRU) and global context mechanism (GCM) to supplement the contextual and global features of sentences. Subsequently, a graph convolutional network (GCN) based on syntactic dependencies is employed to learn inter-word dependency features, enhancing the model’s knowledge representation capabilities for complex sentences. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model in the joint extraction task on hydraulic engineering datasets. The precision, recall, and F1-score are 86.5%, 84.1%, and 85.3%, respectively, all outperforming the baseline model.
