REDFM: 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.
