摘要

Relation extraction aims to identify semantic relations between entities in unstructured text. However, existing methods still face challenges such as relation redundancy, overlapping relations, and error propagation in pipeline frameworks. To address these issues, this paper proposes a joint extraction framework that combines multi-branch dilated convolutions with a multi-head cross-attention mechanism. The method uses BERT and PERCNet to obtain contextual and enhanced semantic features, respectively, and employs multi-head cross-attention together with a learnable gated fusion mechanism for feature interaction and adaptive fusion, thereby improving relation representation. Subsequently, the model filters redundant relations through latent relation prediction, performs joint extraction of entities and relations, and further refines triplets with a global correspondence mechanism. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves F1 scores of 93.5%, 94.5%, and 75.0% on the NYT, WebNLG, and DuIE datasets, respectively, demonstrating its effectiveness.
