Research on Relation Classification Tasks Based on Cybersecurity Text

Relation classification is a significant task within the field of natural language processing. Its objective is to extract and identify relations between two entities in a given text. Within the scope of this paper, we construct an artificial dataset (CS13K) for relation classification in the realm of cybersecurity and propose two models for processing such tasks. For any sentence containing two target entities, we first locate the entities and fine-tune the pre-trained BERT model. Next, we utilize graph attention networks to iteratively update word nodes and relation nodes. A new relation classification model is constructed by concatenating the updated vectors of word nodes and relation nodes. Our proposed model achieved exceptional performance on the SemEval-2010 task 8 dataset, surpassing previous approaches with a remarkable F1 value of 92.3%. Additionally, we propose the integration of a ranking-based voting mechanism into the existing model. Our best results are an F1 value of 92.5% on the SemEval-2010 task 8 dataset and a value 94.6% on the CS13K dataset. These findings highlight the effectiveness of our proposed models in tackling relation classification tasks.
