Relation extraction aims to extract the semantic relationships between entities from the text. As the upper-level task of relation extraction, entity recognition will generate errors and spread them to relation extraction, resulting in cascading errors. Compared with entities, entity boundaries have small granularity and ambiguity, making them easier to recognize. Therefore, a relationship extraction method based on entity boundary combination was proposed to realize relation extraction by skipping the entity and combining the entity boundaries in pairs. Since the boundary performance is higher than the entity performance, the problem of error propagation was alleviated; in addition, the performance was further improved by adding the type features and location features of entities through the feature combination method, which reduced the impact caused by error propagation. Experimental results on ACE 2005 English dataset show that the proposed method outperforms the table-sequence encoders method by 8.61 percentage points on Macro average F1-score.
