Title: Tense, aspect and mood based event extraction for situation analysis and crisis management
Authors: Ali H\"urriyeto\u{g}lu
Abstract summary: This thesis develops such a system for Turkish language. It can, in addition to extracting basic event structures, classify sentences given in news reports according to their temporal, modal and volitional/illocutionary values.

Abstract: Nowadays event extraction systems mainly deal with a relatively small amount of information about temporal and modal qualifications of situations, primarily processing assertive sentences in the past tense. However, systems with a wider coverage of tense, aspect and mood can provide better analyses and can be used in a wider range of text analysis applications. This thesis develops such a system for Turkish language. This is accomplished by extending Open Source Information Mining and Analysis (OPTIMA) research group's event extraction software, by implementing appropriate extensions in the semantic representation format, by adding a partial grammar which improves the TAM (Tense, Aspect and Mood) marker, adverb analysis and matching functions of ExPRESS, and by constructing an appropriate lexicon in the standard of CORLEONE. These extensions are based on iv the theory of anchoring relations (Tem\"urc\"u, 2007, 2011) which is a crosslinguistically applicable semantic framework for analyzing tense, aspect and mood related categories. The result is a system which can, in addition to extracting basic event structures, classify sentences given in news reports according to their temporal, modal and volitional/illocutionary values. Although the focus is on news reports of natural disasters, disease outbreaks and man-made disasters in Turkish language, the approach can be adapted to other languages, domains and genres. This event extraction and classification system, with further developments, can provide a basis for automated browsing systems for preventing environmental and humanitarian risk.

Information retrieval has evolved from term-based methods to its integration with advanced neural models. Recent research has sought to leverage large language models (LLMs) to improve IR systems. We delve into the confluence of LLMs and IR systems, including crucial aspects such as query rewriters, retrievers, rerankers, and readers.

Type Information Utilized Event Detection via Multi-Channel GNNs in Electrical Power Systems [27.132352561001753]
Event detection in power systems aims to identify triggers and event types, which helps relevant personnel respond to emergencies promptly. The limited length of short electrical record texts causes severe information sparsity, and numerous domain-specific terminologies of power systems makes it difficult to transfer knowledge from language models pre-trained on general-domain texts. We propose a Multi-Channel graph neural network utilizing Type information for Event Detection in power systems, named MC-TED, to enrich information interaction from short texts.

Zero-Shot On-the-Fly Event Schema Induction [61.91468909200566]
We present a new approach in which large language models are utilized to generate source documents that allow predicting, given a high-level event definition, the specific events, arguments, and relations between them. Using our model, complete schemas on any topic can be generated on-the-fly without any manual data collection, i.e., in a zero-shot manner.

Extracting Large Scale Spatio-Temporal Descriptions from Social Media [1.14219428942199]
The ability to track large-scale events as they happen is essential for understanding them and coordinating reactions in an appropriate and timely manner. We are exploring the hypothesis that this kind of data can be augmented with the ingestion of semi-structured data sources, like social media. Social media can diffuse valuable knowledge, such as direct witness or expert opinions, while their noisy nature makes them not trivial to manage.

Causality understanding between events is helpful in many areas, including health care, business risk management and finance. "Cause-Effect" relationships between natural language events continues to remain a challenge simply because it is often expressed implicitly. Our proposed methods achieve the state-of-art performance in three different data distributions and can be leveraged for extraction of a causal diagram.
