Food safety in health: a model of extraction for food contaminants

Contaminants are the critical targets of food safety supervision and risk assessment. In existing research, food safety knowledge graphs are used to improve the efficiency of supervision since they supply the relationship between contaminants and foods. Entity relationship extraction is one of the crucial technologies of knowledge graph construction. However, this technology still faces the issue of single entity overlap. This means that a head entity in a text description may have multiple corresponding tail entities with different relationships. To address this issue, this work proposes a pipeline model with neural networks for multiple relations enhanced entity pairs extraction. The proposed model can predict the correct entity pairs in terms of specific relations by introducing the semantic interaction between relation identification and entity extraction. We conducted various experiments on our own dataset FC and on the open public available data set DuIE2.0. The results of experiments show our model reaches the state-of-the-art, and the case study indicates our model can correctly extract entity-relationship triplets to release the problem of single entity overlap.
