• Abstract summary: We propose a model that incorporates both temporal and causal features to perform causal relation classification. We use the syntactic structure of the text for identifying temporal and causal relations between two events from the text. We propose an LSTM based model for temporal and causal relation classification that captures the interrelations between the three encoded features.

• Abstract: Temporal and causal relations play an important role in determining the dependencies between events. Classifying the temporal and causal relations between events has many applications, such as generating event timelines, event summarization, textual entailment and question answering. Temporal and causal relations are closely related and influence each other. So we propose a joint model that incorporates both temporal and causal features to perform causal relation classification. We use the syntactic structure of the text for identifying temporal and causal relations between two events from the text. We extract parts-of-speech tag sequence, dependency tag sequence and word sequence from the text. We propose an LSTM based model for temporal and causal relation classification that captures the interrelations between the three encoded features. Evaluation of our model on four popular datasets yields promising results for temporal and causal relation classification.

  Event Temporal Relation Extraction (ETRE) aims to identify the temporal relationship between two events. We propose a multi-label classification solution for ETRE (METRE) to infer the possibility of each temporal relation independently. Our method can effectively utilize the textitVague instances to improve the recognition for specific temporal relations.

  This paper presents a new annotation scheme that clearly defines the criteria based on which temporal relations should be annotated. We also propose a method for annotating all temporal relations -- including long-distance ones -- which automates the process. The result is a new dataset, the TIMELINE corpus, in which improved inter-annotator agreement was obtained.

  Event temporal relation extraction(ETRE) is usually formulated as a multi-label classification task. We observe that all relations can be interpreted using the start and end time points of events. We propose a unified event temporal relation extraction framework, which transforms temporal relations into logical expressions of time points.

  We construct a large-scale human-annotated ERE dataset MAVEN-ERE with improved annotation schemes. It contains 103,193 event coreference chains, 1,216,217 temporal relations, 57,992 causal relations, and 15,841 subevent relations. Experiments show that ERE on MAVEN-ERE is quite challenging, and considering relation interactions with joint learning can improve performances.

We propose a Neural Temporal Logic Programming (Neural TLP) which first learns implicit temporal relations between atomic events and then lifts logic rules for supervision.

  We propose CTEG, a model equipped with two mechanisms to learn to decouple easily-confused relations. On the one hand, an EGA mechanism is introduced to guide the attention to filter out information causing confusion. On the other hand, a Confusion-Aware Training (CAT) method is proposed to explicitly learn to distinguish relations.
