RELATION EXTRACTION FROM TEXT USING MACHINE LEARNING

A first neural network is operated on a processor and a memory to encode a first natural language string into a first sentence encoding including a set of word encodings. Using a word-based attention mechanism with a context vector, a weight value for a word encoding within the first sentence encoding is adjusted to form an adjusted first sentence encoding. Using a sentence-based attention mechanism, a first relationship encoding corresponding to the adjusted first sentence encoding is determined. An absolute difference between the first relationship encoding and a second relationship encoding is computed. Using a multi-layer perceptron, a degree of analogical similarity between the first relationship encoding and a second relationship encoding is determined.
