• Abstract: Event detection (ED), aiming to detect events from texts and categorize them, is vital to understanding actual happenings in real life. However, mainstream event detection models require high-quality expert human annotations of triggers, which are often costly and thus deter the application of ED to new domains. Therefore, in this paper, we focus on low-resource ED without triggers and aim to tackle the following formidable challenges: multi-label classification, insufficient clues, and imbalanced events distribution. We propose a novel trigger-free ED method via Derangement mechanism on a machine Reading Comprehension (DRC) framework. More specifically, we treat the input text as Context and concatenate it with all event type tokens that are deemed as Answers with an omitted default question. So we can leverage the self-attention in pre-trained language models to absorb semantic relations between input text and the event types. Moreover, we design a simple yet effective event derangement module (EDM) to prevent major events from being excessively learned so as to yield a more balanced training process. The experiment results show that our proposed trigger-free ED model is remarkably competitive to mainstream trigger-based models, showing its strong performance on low-source event detection.

  Speech event detection is crucial for multimedia retrieval, involving the tagging of both semantic and acoustic events. This paper tackles two primary challenges in speech event detection: the continual integration of new events without forgetting previous ones, and the disentanglement of semantic from acoustic events. We propose a novel method, 'Double Mixture,' which merges speech expertise with robust memory mechanisms to enhance adaptability and prevent forgetting.

  We study continual event extraction, which aims to extract incessantly emerging event information while avoiding forgetting. We observe that the semantic confusion on event types stems from the annotations of the same text being updated over time. This paper proposes a novel continual event extraction model with semantic confusion rectification.

  Event detection (ED) aims to identify the key trigger words in unstructured text and predict the event types accordingly.

  Event Detection aims to identify and classify mentions of event instances from unstructured articles. Existing techniques for event detection only use homogeneous one-hot vectors to represent the event type classes, ignoring the fact that the semantic meaning of the types is important to the task. We propose a Semantic Pivoting Model for Effective Event Detection (SPEED), which explicitly incorporates prior information during training and captures semantically meaningful correlations between input and events.

Any application that needs to extract structured information about ongoing events from unstructured texts can take advantage of an OED system.
