Adversarial Discriminative Domain Adaptation for Extracting Protein-Protein Interactions from Text

Relation extraction is the process of extracting structured information from unstructured text. Recently, neural networks (NNs) have produced state-of-art results in extracting protein-protein interactions (PPIs) from text. While multiple corpora have been created to extract PPIs from text, most methods have shown poor cross-corpora generalization. In other words, models trained on one dataset perform poorly on other datasets for the same task. In the case of PPI, the F1 has been shown to vary by as much as 30% between different datasets. In this work, we utilize adversarial discriminative domain adaptation (ADDA) to improve the generalization between the source and target corpora. Specifically, we introduce a method of unsupervised domain adaptation, where we assume we have no labeled data in the target dataset.
