HeRE: Hebrew Relation Extraction benchmark
Data release for HeRE: A Novel Benchmark for Hebrew Relation Extraction via LLM-Guided Denoising of Knowledge Graph Alignments (Ron Keinan, Amir David Nissan Cohen, Reut Tsarfaty; AACL 2026). Code: https://github.com/Ronke21/HeRE.
Every row is a Hebrew Wikipedia passage aligned by distant supervision (CROCODILE) to a Wikidata triple (subject, predicate, object) whose two entities are mentioned in the passage. The label answers one question: does the passage express the stated relation between the subject and the object?
Configs
| Config | Split | Rows | Label |
|---|---|---|---|
gold |
validation |
500 | human, dual-annotated and adjudicated; the set on which the denoising pipeline was selected |
gold |
test |
500 | human, dual-annotated and adjudicated; never used for selection (203 unseen-predicate rows, 97 depth rows, 200 silver-drawn rows) |
silver |
train |
1,491,070 | agree3: unanimous vote of Gemma-4-31B-it (few-shot), Gemma-3-27B-it (few-shot) and DictaLM-3.0-24B (HebNLI-fine-tuned NLI); 1,080,605 positive / 410,465 negative |
silver_all_signals |
train |
2,564,034 | every silver row with the raw score and hard prediction of all ten deployed signals and four consensus rules; agree3_label is -1 where the three models disagree |
kg/here_kg_edges.tsv.gz (1,080,605 rows) is HeRE-KG: the positive agree3 edges as subject, predicate, object, docid, n_signals_pos, mean_score, i.e. a Hebrew knowledge graph in which every edge points to the passage (docid, join on silver) that expresses it. Statistics in kg/here_kg_stats.md.
Columns
Gold: item_id, docid, title, text, subject, predicate, object, label, annotator1, annotator2, notes, word_count, selection_reason (validation, or in the test set new_predicate 203, depth_boost 97, silver_validation_200 200). annotator1 and annotator2 are the two annotators' labels (annotator 2 annotated blind); label is the adjudicated label used throughout the paper (identical to annotator1, whose column absorbed the adjudication decisions); notes are annotator 2's free-text remarks. Inter-annotator agreement before adjudication: Cohen's kappa 0.809 (validation), 0.757 (test).
Silver: docid, title, text, subject, predicate, object, label (or agree3_label), then for each signal <family>__<model>__score (float) and <family>__<model>__pred (0/1; -5 or null where the signal abstains) for

Quality
Measured on the held-out gold test set: the best single deployed signal (Gemma-4-31B-it) reaches F1 0.844 (0.944 on predicates seen during development, 0.776 on unseen ones). The published agree3 label covers 66.8% of the test rows and on them reaches precision 0.899, recall 0.934, F1 0.916 (95% CI 0.886 to 0.944). Use the per-signal scores to choose a different precision/recall operating point.
On HeRE-KG, a TransE model trained on the denoised graph beats a size-matched random subset of the raw alignments by 24% relative MRR (three seeds). Every number behind the paper, with confidence intervals, is in the code repository under results/ (https://github.com/Ronke21/HeRE/tree/main/results).
Fine-tuned models
All HeRE resources are grouped in the Hub collection https://huggingface.co/collections/ronke21/here-hebrew-relation-extraction-6aa82bf21db8a9c955cf1cd1. The HebNLI-fine-tuned denoisers behind the released signals and the per-strategy winners:

The Strategy 4 signals (Gemma-4-31B-it, Gemma-3-27B-it, DictaLM-3.0-24B-Base) are prompted public models; prompts are in the code repository.
Contamination note
The 500 test rows were drawn from the silver corpus; all 500 are withheld from every silver and KG file here. Do not add them back when training.
