Dynamic-prototype Contrastive Fine-tuning for Continual Few-shot Relation Extraction with Unseen Relation Detection

Proceedings of the 31st International Conference on Computational Linguistics

Continual Few-shot Relation Extraction (CFRE) aims to continually learn new relations from limited labeled data while preserving knowledge about previously learned relations. Facing the inherent issue of catastrophic forgetting, previous approaches predominantly rely on memory replay strategies. However, they often overlook task interference in continual learning and the varying memory requirements for different relations. To address these shortcomings, we propose a novel framework, DPC-FT, which features: 1) a lightweight relation encoder for each task to mitigate negative knowledge transfer across tasks; 2) a dynamic prototype module to allocate less memory for easier relations and more memory for harder relations. Additionally, we introduce the None-Of-The-Above (NOTA) detection in CFRE and propose a threshold criterion to identify relations that have never been learned. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of our method in CFRE, making our approach more practical and comprehensive for real-world scenarios.
