Extract knowledge from raw text
This repository is a nearly copy-paste of "From Text to Knowledge: The Information Extraction Pipeline" with some cosmetic updates. I made an installable version to evaluate it easily. The original code is available @ trinity-ie. To create some value, I added the Luke model to predict relations between entities. Luke is a transformer (same family as Bert), its particularity is that during its pre-training, it trains parameters dedicated to entities within the attention mechanism. Luke is in fact a very efficient model on entity-related tasks. We use here the version of Luke fine-tuned on the dataset TACRED.
In this blog post, Tomaz Bratanic presents a complete pipeline for extracting triples from raw text. The first step of the pipeline is to resolve the coreferences. The second step of the pipeline is to identify entities using the Wikifier API. Finally, Tomaz Bratanic proposes to use the Opennre library to extract relations between entities within the text.

Installation
pip install git+https://github.com/raphaelsty/textokb --upgrade
You will have to download spacy en model to do coreference resolution:
pip install spacy==2.1.0 && python -m spacy download en
Quick start
>>> from textokb import pipeline

... "territorial entity type",
... "organization",

>>> device = "cpu" # or device = "cuda" if you do own a gpu.
>>> pipeline = pipeline.TextToKnowledge(key="jueidnxsctiurpwykpumtsntlschpx", types=types, device=device)

By default the model used is wiki80_cnn_softmax. I also added the model Luke (Language Understanding with Knowledge-based Embeddings) which provide a pre-trained models to do relation extraction. The results of the Luke model seem to be of better quality but the number of predicted relationships is smaller.
Here is how to use LUKE

Notes
The first time you initialize the model with Opennre or Luke, you may have to wait a few minutes for the model to download. Since we use the Wikifier API to track entities (NEL), it is necessary that your computer is connected to the internet. You can create your own credential for the API here: Wikifier API registration. Tomaz Bratanic mentions the possibility to replace Wikifier with BLINK however this library is very RAM intensive.

Work in progress
I failed to use the wiki80_bert_softmax model from Opennre due to a pre-trained model loading error (i.e. Tensorflow errors on Mac M1). I used the lighter model wiki80_cnn_softmax when reproducing Tomaz Bratanic's blog post. It would be interesting to be able to easily add different models and especially transformers. The API I used are not optimized for batch predictions. There are a lot of room for improvement by simply updating Opennre and Luke APIs.
