| Summary: | Relation extraction, a fundamental task in natural language processing, aims to extract entity triples from unstructured data. These triples can then be used to build a knowledge graph. Recently, pre-training models that have learned prior semantic and syntactic knowledge, such as BERT and ERNIE, have enhanced the performance of relation extraction tasks. However, previous research has mainly focused on sequential or structural data alone, such as the shortest dependency path, ignoring the fact that fusing sequential and structural features may improve the classification performance. This study proposes a concise approach using the fused features for the relation extraction task. Firstly, for the sequential data, we verify in detail which of the generated representations can effectively improve the performance. Secondly, inspired by the pre-training task of next-sentence prediction, we propose a concise relation extraction approach based on the fusion of sequential and structural features using the pre-training model ERNIE. The experiments were conducted on the SemEval 2010 Task 8 dataset and the results show that the proposed method can improve the <i>F1</i> value to 0.902.
