End-to-End Trainable Attentive Decoder for Hierarchical Entity Classification
Abstract: We address fine-grained entity classification and propose a novel attention-based recurrent neural network (RNN) encoderdecoder that generates paths in the type hierarchy and can be trained end-to-end. We show that our model performs better on fine-grained entity classification than…
