RED FM : a Filtered and Multilingual Relation Extraction Dataset

This is a multilingual version of REBEL . It can be used as a standalone multulingual Relation Extraction system, or as a pretrained system to be tuned on multilingual Relation Extraction datasets.

mREBEL is introduced in the ACL 2023 paper RED^{FM}: a Filtered and Multilingual Relation Extraction Dataset . We present a new multilingual Relation Extraction dataset and train a multilingual version of REBEL which reframed Relation Extraction as a seq2seq task. The paper can be found here .

Be aware that the inference widget at the right does not output special tokens, which are necessary to distinguish the subject, object and relation types. For a demo of mREBEL and its pre-training dataset check the Spaces demo .
