We compare our model with the following state-of-the-art joint entity and relation extraction models:

(1) SPTree BIBREF4: This is an end-to-end neural entity and relation extraction model using sequence LSTM and Tree LSTM. (2) Tagging BIBREF5: This is a neural sequence tagging model which jointly extracts the entities and relations using an LSTM encoder and an LSTM decoder. (3) CopyR BIBREF6: This model uses an encoder-decoder approach for joint extraction of entities and relations. (4) HRL BIBREF11: This model uses a reinforcement learning (RL) algorithm with two levels of hierarchy for tuple extraction. (5) GraphR BIBREF14: This model considers each token in a sentence as a node in a graph, and edges connecting the nodes as relations between them. (6) N-gram Attention BIBREF9: This model uses an encoder-decoder approach with N-gram attention mechanism for knowledge-base completion using distantly supervised data.
