🚀 Quick Start
ReLiK is a lightweight and fast model for Entity Linking and Relation Extraction.
It is composed of two main components: a retriever and a reader.
The retriever is responsible for retrieving relevant documents from a large collection,
while the reader is responsible for extracting entities and relations from the retrieved documents.
ReLiK can be used with the from_pretrained method to load a pre-trained pipeline.
Here is an example of how to use ReLiK for Relation Extraction:
from relik import Relik
from relik.inference.data.objects import RelikOutput
relik = Relik.from_pretrained("sapienzanlp/relik-relation-extraction-nyt-large")
relik_out: RelikOutput = relik("Michael Jordan was one of the best players in the NBA.")
RelikOutput(
text='Michael Jordan was one of the best players in the NBA.',
tokens=Michael Jordan was one of the best players in the NBA.,
id=0,
spans=[
Span(start=0, end=14, label='--NME--', text='Michael Jordan'),
Span(start=50, end=53, label='--NME--', text='NBA')
],
triplets=[
Triplets(
subject=Span(start=0, end=14, label='--NME--', text='Michael Jordan'),
label='company',
object=Span(start=50, end=53, label='--NME--', text='NBA'),
confidence=1.0
)
],
candidates=Candidates(
span=[],
triplet=[
[
[
{"text": "company", "id": 4, "metadata": {"definition": "company of this person"}},
{"text": "nationality", "id": 10, "metadata": {"definition": "nationality of this person or entity"}},
{"text": "child", "id": 17, "metadata": {"definition": "child of this person"}},
{"text": "founded by", "id": 0, "metadata": {"definition": "founder or co-founder of this organization, religion or place"}},
