Yes, as mentioned in the paper we applied hypernym filtering to the train, dev and test sets similar to Verga et al. (2018).
Oh, I got it. Thanks.
Hi @fenchri,
Do you have the results for a model trained without hypernym filtering listed anywhere? I am interested in how much it impacts the performance of the final model. Thanks!
Hi there!
Apologies, but I do not have solid numbers to show you, since for an apple-to-apple comparison I tried to have the same setting as previous work.
However, I did experiment with that when I first started this work and I found that performance dropped at least 1% without hypernym filtering. I would recommend to re-run the code by changing the pre-processing to not include the filtering if you need exact numbers, but I could tell that from a very early, toy experimentation, performance should be quite lower.
Hope that helps, cheers :)
Thanks a lot @fenchri :)
Also, does the filtering only apply to disease entities? Or does it also apply to chemicals?
Hey! Terribly sorry for the late reply!
The filtering goes by disease if I remember correctly, but ultimately the entire chemical-disease pair gets dropped. In this paper, we kept all entities but simply did not classify the filtered pairs.
This script is responsible for the filtering process :)
It seems that hypernym filtering has compact to the final results.
