• Abstract: Event Extraction plays an important role in information-extraction to understand the world. Event extraction could be split into two subtasks: one is event trigger extraction, the other is event arguments extraction. However, the F-Score of event arguments extraction is much lower than that of event trigger extraction, i.e. in the most recent work, event trigger extraction achieves 80.7%, while event arguments extraction achieves only 58%. In pipelined structures, the difficulty of event arguments extraction lies in its lack of classification feature, and the much higher computation consumption. In this work, we proposed a novel Event Extraction approach based on multi-layer Dilate Gated Convolutional Neural Network (EE-DGCNN) which has fewer parameters. In addition, enhanced local information is incorporated into word features, to assign event arguments roles for triggers predicted by the first subtask. The numerical experiments demonstrated significant performance improvement beyond state-of-art event extraction approaches on real-world datasets. Further analysis of extraction procedure is presented, as well as experiments are conducted to analyze impact factors related to the performance improvement.

  Nested events involve a kind of Pivot Elements (PEs) that simultaneously act as arguments of outer-nest events and as triggers of inner-nest events. This paper proposes a new model, called PerNee, which extracts nested events mainly based on recognizing PEs. The model uses prompt learning to incorporate information from both event types and argument roles for better trigger and argument representations.

  Event Argument extraction refers to the task of extracting structured information from unstructured text for a particular event of interest. Most of the existing works model this task at a sentence level, restricting the context to a local scope. We propose an external knowledge aided approach to infuse document-level event information to aid the extraction of complex event arguments.
