A Survey of Document-Level Information Extraction
Hanwen Zheng Sijia Wang Lifu Huang
Document-level information extraction (IE) is a crucial task in natural
language processing (NLP). This paper conducts a systematic review of recent
document-level IE literature. In addition, we conduct a thorough error analysis
with current state-of-the-art algorithms and identify their limitations as well
as the remaining challenges for the task of document-level IE. According to our
findings, labeling noises, entity coreference resolution, and lack of
reasoning, severely affect the performance of document-level IE. The objective
of this survey paper is to provide more insights and help NLP researchers to
further enhance document-level IE performance.
