Abstract

BACKGROUND: Most Chinese joint entity and relation extraction tasks in medicine involve numerous nested entities, overlapping relations, and other challenging extraction issues. In response to these problems, some traditional methods decompose the joint extraction task into multiple steps or multiple modules, resulting in local dependency in the meantime.
