• Authors: Sheng Xu, Peifeng Li, Qiaoming Zhu
• Abstract summary: Event coreference resolution (ECR) aims to group event mentions referring to the same real-world event into clusters. We propose a prompt-based approach, CorefPrompt, to transform ECR into a cloze-style (masked language model) task. This allows for simultaneous event modeling and coreference discrimination within a single template, with a fully shared context.

• Abstract: Event coreference resolution (ECR) aims to group event mentions referring to the same real-world event into clusters. Most previous studies adopt the "encoding first, then scoring" framework, making the coreference judgment rely on event encoding. Furthermore, current methods struggle to leverage human-summarized ECR rules, e.g., coreferential events should have the same event type, to guide the model. To address these two issues, we propose a prompt-based approach, CorefPrompt, to transform ECR into a cloze-style MLM (masked language model) task. This allows for simultaneous event modeling and coreference discrimination within a single template, with a fully shared context. In addition, we introduce two auxiliary prompt tasks, event-type compatibility and argument compatibility, to explicitly demonstrate the reasoning process of ECR, which helps the model make final predictions. Experimental results show that our method CorefPrompt performs well in a state-of-the-art (SOTA) benchmark.

  Event Causality Identification (ECI) aims at determining whether there is a causal relation between two event mentions. We propose a deterministic assumption prompt learning model, called DAPrompt, for the ECI task. We use the probabilities of predicted events to evaluate the assumption rationality for the final event causality decision.

  We propose to use global constraints with prompting to tackle event argument classification without any annotation and task-specific training. A pre-trained language model scores the new passages, making the initial prediction. Our novel prompt templates can easily adapt to all events and argument types without manual effort.

  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.

  We propose an unsupervised event extraction pipeline, which first identifies events with available tools (e.g., SRL) and then automatically maps them to pre-defined event types. We leverage pre-trained language models to contextually represent pre-defined types for both event triggers and arguments. We successfully map 83% of the triggers and 54% of the arguments to the correct types, almost doubling the performance of previous zero-shot approaches.
