Abstract: Document-level Relation Extraction (DocRE) aims to identify relations between entities across a document but typically relies on costly large-scale annotations. While pseudo-labelling enables the use of low-quality data, existing methods often suffer from inefficiency and confirmation bias. To address these challenges, we propose Syn2DRE, a semi-supervised framework that combines self-supervised learning with cross-supervision in a lightweight teacher-student architecture to produce more reliable pseudo-labels. Additionally, we introduce a unified end-to-end training strategy to further improve efficiency of the framework. Experiments on multiple benchmarks show that Syn2DRE consistently outperforms prior state-of-the-art semi-supervised DocRE methods.
