    • QUOTE: In all earlier works we know of, the tasks of identifying entities and relations were treated as separate problems. The common procedure is to first identify and classify entities using a named entity recognizer and only then determine the relations between the entities. However, this approach has several problems. First, errors made by the named entity recognizer propagate to the relation classifier and may degrade its performance significantly. For example, if “Boston” is mislabeled as a person, it will never be classified as the location of Poe’s birthplace. Second, relation information is sometimes crucial to resolving ambiguous named entity recognition. For instance, if the entity “JFK” is identified as the victim of the assassination, the named entity recognizer is unlikely to misclassify it as a location (e.g. JFK airport).
