• Abstract: This workshop is the fourth issue of a series of workshops on automatic extraction of socio-political events from news, organized by the Emerging Market Welfare Project, with the support of the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission and with contributions from many other prominent scholars in this field. The purpose of this series of workshops is to foster research and development of reliable, valid, robust, and practical solutions for automatically detecting descriptions of socio-political events, such as protests, riots, wars and armed conflicts, in text streams. This year workshop contributors make use of the state-of-the-art NLP technologies, such as Deep Learning, Word Embeddings and Transformers and cover a wide range of topics from text classification to news bias detection. Around 40 teams have registered and 15 teams contributed to three tasks that are i) multilingual protest news detection, ii) fine-grained classification of socio-political events, and iii) discovering Black Lives Matter protest events. The workshop also highlights two keynote and four invited talks about various aspects of creating event data sets and multi- and cross-lingual machine learning in few- and zero-shot settings.

• Grounding Partially-Defined Events in Multimodal Data [61.0063273919745]
  We introduce a multimodal formulation for partially-defined events and cast the extraction of these events as a three-stage span retrieval task. We propose a benchmark for this task, MultiVENT-G, that consists of 14.5 hours of densely annotated current event videos and 1,168 text documents, containing 22.8K labeled event-centric entities. Results illustrate the challenges that abstract event understanding poses and demonstrates promise in event-centric video-language systems.

• Unsupervised Key Event Detection from Massive Text Corpora [42.31889135421941]
  We propose a new task, key event detection at the intermediate level, aiming to detect from a news corpus key events. This task can bridge event understanding and structuring and is inherently challenging because of the thematic and temporal closeness of key events. We develop an unsupervised key event detection framework, EvMine, that extracts temporally frequent peak phrases using a novel ttf-itf score.

• Rethinking the Role of Demonstrations: What Makes In-Context Learning Work? [112.72413411257662]
  Large language models (LMs) are able to in-context learn by conditioning on a few input-label pairs (demonstrations) and making predictions for new inputs. We show that ground truth demonstrations are in fact not required -- randomly replacing labels in the demonstrations barely hurts performance. We find that other aspects of the demonstrations are the key drivers of end task performance.
