• Abstract summary: We propose NGEP, a novel event planning framework which generates an event sequence by performing inference on an automatically constructed event graph. We conduct a range of experiments on multiple criteria, and the results demonstrate that our graph-based neural framework outperforms the state-of-the-art (SOTA) event planning approaches.

• Abstract: To improve the performance of long text generation, recent studies have leveraged automatically planned event structures (i.e. storylines) to guide story generation. Such prior works mostly employ end-to-end neural generation models to predict event sequences for a story. However, such generation models struggle to guarantee the narrative coherence of separate events due to the hallucination problem, and additionally the generated event sequences are often hard to control due to the end-to-end nature of the models. To address these challenges, we propose NGEP, an novel event planning framework which generates an event sequence by performing inference on an automatically constructed event graph and enhances generalisation ability through a neural event advisor. We conduct a range of experiments on multiple criteria, and the results demonstrate that our graph-based neural framework outperforms the state-of-the-art (SOTA) event planning approaches, considering both the performance of event sequence generation and the effectiveness on the downstream task of story generation.

We use Large Language Models to generate event sequences that can effectively be used for probabilistic event model construction. We show that our approach can generate high-quality event sequences, filling a knowledge gap in the input KG.

• Modeling Complex Event Scenarios via Simple Entity-focused Questions [58.16787028844743]
  We propose a question-guided generation framework that models events in complex scenarios as answers to questions about participants. At any step in the generation process, the framework uses the previously generated events as context, but generates the next event as an answer to one of three questions. Our empirical evaluation shows that this question-guided generation provides better coverage of participants, diverse events within a domain, and comparable perplexities for modeling event sequences.

  The goal of sequential event prediction is to estimate the next event based on a sequence of historical events. In practice, the next-event prediction models are trained with sequential data collected at one time. We propose a framework with hierarchical branching structures for learning context-specific representations.
