description Abstract Document-level relation extraction (RE), which requires integrating and reasoning information to identify multiple possible relations among entities. However, previous research typically performed reasoning on heterogeneous graphs and set a global threshold for multiple relations classification, regardless of interaction reasoning information among multiple relations and positive–negative samples imbalance on databases. This paper proposes a novel framework for Document-level RE with two techniques, dual attention fusion and dynamic asymmetric loss. Concretely, to obtain more interdependency feature learning, we construct entity pairs and contextual matrixes using multi-head axial attention and co-attention mechanism to learn the interaction among entity pairs deeply. To alleviate the hard-thresholds influence from positive–negative imbalance samples, we dynamically adjust weights to optimize the probabilities of different labels. We evaluate our model on two benchmark document-level RE datasets, DocRED and CDR. Experimental results show that our DASL (Dual Attention fusion and dynamic aSymmetric Loss) obtains superior performance on two public datasets, we further provide extensive experiments to analyze how dual attention fusion and dynamic asymmetric loss guide the model for better extracting multi-label relations among entities.
