  Recently, progress has been made towards improving relational reasoning in
machine learning field. Among existing models, graph neural networks (GNNs) is
one of the most effective approaches for multi-hop relational reasoning. In
fact, multi-hop relational reasoning is indispensable in many natural language
processing tasks such as relation extraction. In this paper, we propose to
generate the parameters of graph neural networks (GP-GNNs) according to natural
language sentences, which enables GNNs to process relational reasoning on
unstructured text inputs. We verify GP-GNNs in relation extraction from text.
Experimental results on a human-annotated dataset and two distantly supervised
datasets show that our model achieves significant improvements compared to
baselines. We also perform a qualitative analysis to demonstrate that our model
could discover more accurate relations by multi-hop relational reasoning.
