• Title: Master of Disaster: A Disaster-Related Event Monitoring System From News Streams
• Authors: Junbo Huang, Ricardo Usbeck,
• Abstract summary: The need for a disaster-related event monitoring system has arisen due to the societal and economic impact caused by the increasing number of severe disaster events. We demonstrate our open-source event monitoring system, Master of Disaster (MoD), which receives news streams, extracts event information, links extracted information to a knowledge graph (KG), and discriminates event instances visually.

• Abstract: The need for a disaster-related event monitoring system has arisen due to the societal and economic impact caused by the increasing number of severe disaster events. An event monitoring system should be able to extract event-related information from texts, and discriminates event instances. We demonstrate our open-source event monitoring system, namely, Master of Disaster (MoD), which receives news streams, extracts event information, links extracted information to a knowledge graph (KG), in this case Wikidata, and discriminates event instances visually. The goal of event visualization is to group event mentions referring to the same real-world event instance so that event instance discrimination can be achieved by visual screening.

• Grounding Partially-Defined Events in Multimodal Data [61.0063273919745]
  We introduce a multimodal formulation for partially-defined events and cast the extraction of these events as a three-stage span retrieval task. We propose a benchmark for this task, MultiVENT-G, that consists of 14.5 hours of densely annotated current event videos and 1,168 text documents, containing 22.8K labeled event-centric entities. Results illustrate the challenges that abstract event understanding poses and demonstrates promise in event-centric video-language systems.

  Document-level event extraction faces two main challenges: arguments-scattering and multi-event. This paper proposes a novel-based Explicitly Aggregating(SEA) model to address these limitations. SEA aggregates event information into event type and role representations, enabling the decoding of event records based on specific type-aware representations.
