• Abstract: Event Extraction (EE) is one of the essential tasks in information extraction, which aims to detect event mentions from text and find the corresponding argument roles. The EE task can be abstracted as a process of matching the semantic definitions and argument structures of event types with the target text. This paper encodes the semantic features of event types and makes structural matching with target text. Specifically, Semantic Type Embedding (STE) and Dynamic Structure Encoder (DSE) modules are proposed. Also, the Joint Structural Semantic Matching (JSSM) model is built to jointly perform event detection and argument extraction tasks through a bidirectional attention layer. The experimental results on the ACE2005 dataset indicate that our model achieves a significant performance improvement

  Existing PTLM-based models for TSC can be categorized into two groups: 1) fine-tuning-based models that adopt PTLM as the context encoder; 2) prompting-based models that transfer the classification task to the text/word generation task. We present a new perspective of leveraging PTLM for TSC: simultaneously leveraging the merits of both language modeling and explicit target-context interactions via contextual target attributes.

  Event extraction (EE) aims to find the events and event-related argument information from the text and represent them in a structured format. In this paper, we represent each event record in a unique format that contains trigger phrase, trigger type, argument phrase, and corresponding role information. Our proposed pointer network-based encoder-decoder model generates an event in each step by exploiting the interactions among event participants.

• Semantic Pivoting Model for Effective Event Detection [19.205550116466604]
  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.

  TAGPRIME is a sequence tagging model that appends priming words about the information of the given condition to the input text. With the self-attention mechanism in pre-trained language models, the priming words make the output contextualized representations contain more information about the given condition. Extensive experiments and analyses on three different tasks that cover ten datasets across five different languages demonstrate the generality and effectiveness of TAGPRIME.

  Event extraction is challenging due to the complex structure of event records and the semantic gap between text and event. Traditional methods usually extract event records by decomposing the complex structure prediction task into multiple subtasks. We propose Text2Event, a sequence-to-structure generation paradigm that can directly extract events from the text in an end-to-end manner.

  This paper introduces the Ongoing Event Detection (OED) task. The goal is to detect ongoing event mentions only, as opposed to historical, future, hypothetical, or other forms or events that are neither fresh nor current. Any application that needs to extract structured information about ongoing events from unstructured texts can take advantage of an OED system.
