Abstract: In recent years,table-filling approaches to joint entity-relation extraction have achieved impressive performance,yet they typically neglect two critical challenges:modelling boundary correlations among token pairs and distinguishing semantically similar token pairs.To address these gaps,this paper introduces a novel joint extraction model featuring multi-scale semantic aggregation and axial-semantic guidance.Firstly,multi-scale semantic aggregation module applies parallel depthwise convolutions of varying kernel sizes to capture boundary correlation information across multiple spatial arrangements,thereby enriching token-pair representations and facilitating the detection of implicit entities.Next,axial-semantic guidance module employsrow-and co-lumn-wise banded convolutions to perform axis-aligned attention calibration,strengthening key semantic features and effectively resolving high-similarity ambiguities.Comprehensive experiments on NYT*,WebNLG*,NYT,and WebNLG datasets yield F1 scores of 93.2%,94.5%,93.2%,and 91.4%-corresponding to absolute gains of 0.1 percentage points,0.6 percentage points,0.4 percentage points,and 1.0 percentage points over strong baselines.These results validate that explicitly capturing multi-scale boundary correlations and refining semantic alignment substantially enhances joint entity-relation extraction.

Key words: Natural language processing, Joint entity-relation extraction, Multi-scale semantic aggregation, Axial semantic gui-dance, Convolutional attention mechanism
