Abstract: Extracting relational triples from unstructured text is crucial for building knowledge graphs.Traditional models often suffer from relational redundancy and overlap due to insufficient contextual information capture.To tackle this,this paper proposes a relation extraction model based on pixel difference convolutional networks and attention mechanisms.It uses BERT to encode sentence representations and generate subject,object,and relation markers.By capturing contextual semantic information from local and global perspectives,the proposed model enhances entity pair interaction,reduces error propagation via bidirectional extraction,and strengthens sentence-entity connections through conditional normalization.A double imitation mechanism is employed to predict triples.Experiments on NYT and WebNLG datasets show the proposed model outperforms baselines in extracting overlapping triples.

Key words: Pixel difference convolution, Convolutional block attention module, Biaffine attention mechanism, Overlapping triples, Conditional normalization
