Abstract

We study the problem of quantitative facts extraction for text with percentages. For example, given the sentence "30 percent of Americans like watching football, while 20% prefer to watch NBA.", our goal is to obtain a deep understanding of the percentage numbers ("30 percent" and "20%") by extracting their quantitative facts: part ("like watching football" and "prefer to watch NBA") and whole ("Americans). These quantitative facts can empower new applications like automated infographic generation. We formulate part and whole extraction as a sequence tagging problem. Due to the large gap between part/whole and its corresponding percentage, we introduce skip mechanism in sequence modeling, and achieved improved performance on both our task and the CoNLL-2003 named entity recognition task. Experimental results demonstrate that learning to skip in sequence tagging is promising.
