There is a demonstration of prediction.
# Model Framework
- DeepKE contains a unified framework for **named entity recognition**, **relation extraction** and **attribute extraction**, the three knowledge extraction functions.
- Each task can be implemented in different scenarios. For example, we can achieve relation extraction in **standard**, **low-resource (few-shot)** and **document-level** settings.
- Each application scenario comprises of three components: **Data** including Tokenizer, Preprocessor and Loader, **Model** including Module, Encoder and Forwarder, **Core** including Training, Evaluation and Prediction.
# Quick Start
*DeepKE* supports `pip install deepke`.
Take the fully supervised relation extraction for example.
**Step1** Download the basic code
```bash
git clone https://github.com/zjunlp/DeepKE.git
```
**Step2** Create a virtual environment using `Anaconda` and enter it.
We also provide dockerfile source code, which is located in the `docker` folder, to help users create their own mirrors.
```bash
conda create -n deepke python=3.8
conda activate deepke
```
1. Install *DeepKE* with source code
```bash
python setup.py install
python setup.py develop
```
2. Install *DeepKE* with `pip`
```bash
pip install deepke
```
**Step3** Enter the task directory
```bash
cd DeepKE/example/re/standard
```
**Step4** Download the dataset
```bash
wget 120.27.214.45/Data/re/standard/data.tar.gz
tar -xzvf data.tar.gz
```
**Step5** Training (Parameters for training can be changed in the `conf` folder)
We support visual parameter tuning by using *wandb*.
```bash
python run.py
```
**Step6** Prediction (Parameters for prediction can be changed in the `conf` folder)
Modify the path of the trained model in `predict.yaml`.
```bash
python predict.py
```

## Introduction of Three Functions
### 1. Named Entity Recognition
- Named entity recognition seeks to locate and classify named entities mentioned in unstructured text into pre-defined categories such as person names, organizations, locations, organizations, etc.
- The data is stored in `.txt` files. Some instances as following:
| Sentence | Person | Location | Organization |
| :----------------------------------------------------------: | :------------------------: | :------------: | :----------------------------: |
| 本报北京9月4日讯记者杨涌报道：部分省区人民日报宣传发行工作座谈会9月3日在4日在京举行。 | 杨涌 | 北京 | 人民日报 |
| 《红楼梦》是中央电视台和中国电视剧制作中心根据中国古典文学名著《红楼梦》摄制于1987年的一部古装连续剧，由王扶林导演，周汝昌、王蒙、周岭等多位红学家参与制作。 | 王扶林，周汝昌，王蒙，周岭 | 中国 | 中央电视台，中国电视剧制作中心 |
| 秦始皇兵马俑位于陕西省西安市，1961年被国务院公布为第一批全国重点文物保护单位，是世界八大奇迹之一。 | 秦始皇 | 陕西省，西安市 | 国务院 |
- Read the detailed process in specific README
- **[STANDARD (Fully Supervised)](https://github.com/zjunlp/DeepKE/tree/main/example/ner/standard)**
**Step1** Enter `DeepKE/example/ner/standard`. Download the dataset.
```bash
wget 120.27.214.45/Data/ner/standard/data.tar.gz
tar -xzvf data.tar.gz
```
**Step2** Training
The dataset and parameters can be customized in the `data` folder and `conf` folder respectively.
```bash
python run.py
```
**Step3** Prediction
```bash
python predict.py
```
- **[FEW-SHOT](https://github.com/zjunlp/DeepKE/tree/main/example/ner/few-shot)**
**Step1** Enter `DeepKE/example/ner/few-shot`. Download the dataset.
```bash
wget 120.27.214.45/Data/ner/few_shot/data.tar.gz
tar -xzvf data.tar.gz
```
**Step2** Training in the low-resouce setting
The directory where the model is loaded and saved and the configuration parameters can be cusomized in the `conf` folder.
```bash
python run.py +train=few_shot
```
Users can modify `load_path` in `conf/train/few_shot.yaml` to use existing loaded model.
**Step3** Add `- predict` to `conf/config.yaml`, modify `loda_path` as the model path and `write_path` as the path where the predicted results are saved in `conf/predict.yaml`, and then run `python predict.py`
```bash
python predict.py
```
### 2. Relation Extraction
- Relationship extraction is the task of extracting semantic relations between entities from a unstructured text.
- The data is stored in `.csv` files. Some instances as following:
| Sentence | Relation | Head | Head_offset | Tail | Tail_offset |
| :----------------------------------------------------: | :------: | :--------: | :---------: | :--------: | :---------: |
| 《岳父也是爹》是王军执导的电视剧，由马恩然、范明主演。 | 导演 | 岳父也是爹 | 1 | 王军 | 8 |
| 《九玄珠》是在纵横中文网连载的一部小说，作者是龙马。 | 连载网站 | 九玄珠 | 1 | 纵横中文网 | 7 |
| 提起杭州的美景，西湖总是第一个映入脑海的词语。 | 所在城市 | 西湖 | 8 | 杭州 | 2 |

# Tips
1. Using nearest mirror, like [THU](https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/help/anaconda/) in China, will speed up the installation of *Anaconda*.
2. Using nearest mirror, like [aliyun](http://mirrors.aliyun.com/pypi/simple/) in China, will speed up `pip install XXX`.
3. When encountering `ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'past'`，run `pip install future` .
4. It's slow to install the pretrained language models online. Recommend download pretrained models before use and save them in the `pretrained` folder. Read `README.md` in every task directory to check the specific requirement for saving pretrained models.
5. The old version of *DeepKE* is in the [deepke-v1.0](https://github.com/zjunlp/DeepKE/tree/deepke-v1.0) branch. Users can change the branch to use the old version. The old version has been totally transfered to the standard relation extraction ([example/re/standard](https://github.com/zjunlp/DeepKE/blob/main/example/re/standard/README.md)).
6. It's recommended to install *DeepKE* with source codes. Because user may meet some problems in Windows system with 'pip'.
# To do
In next version, we plan to add multi-modality knowledge extraction to the toolkit.
Meanwhile, we will offer long-term maintenance to fix bugs, solve issues and meet new requests. So if you have any problems, please put issues to us.
