Distant supervised relation extraction (RE) has been an effective way of finding novel relational facts from text without labeled training data. Typically it can be formalized as a multi-instance multi-label problem.In this paper, we introduce a novel neural approach for distant supervised (RE) with specific focus on attention mechanisms.Unlike the feature-based logistic regression model and compositional neural models such as CNN, our approach includes two major attention-based memory

... s, which is capable of explicitly capturing the importance of each context word for modeling the representation of the entity pair, as well as the intrinsic dependencies between relations.Such importance degree and dependency relationship are calculated with multiple computational layers, each of which is a neural attention model over an external memory. Experiment on real-world datasets shows that our approach performs significantly and consistently better than various baselines.
