• Abstract summary: This paper proposes the task of cross-document event extraction (CDEE) to integrate event information from multiple documents and provide a comprehensive perspective on events. We construct a novel cross-document event extraction dataset, namely CLES, which contains 20,059 documents and 37,688 mention-level events. Our CDEE pipeline achieves about 72% F1 in end-to-end cross-document event extraction, suggesting the challenge of this task.

• Abstract: Document-level event extraction aims to extract structured event information from unstructured text. However, a single document often contains limited event information and the roles of different event arguments may be biased due to the influence of the information source. This paper addresses the limitations of traditional document-level event extraction by proposing the task of cross-document event extraction (CDEE) to integrate event information from multiple documents and provide a comprehensive perspective on events. We construct a novel cross-document event extraction dataset, namely CLES, which contains 20,059 documents and 37,688 mention-level events, where over 70% of them are cross-document. To build a benchmark, we propose a CDEE pipeline that includes 5 steps, namely event extraction, coreference resolution, entity normalization, role normalization and entity-role resolution. Our CDEE pipeline achieves about 72% F1 in end-to-end cross-document event extraction, suggesting the challenge of this task. Our work builds a new line of information extraction research and will attract new research attention.

  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.

For identifier construction, we map the events to well-defined event taxonomy to construct the identifiers with explicit semantic structure.

  Event Extraction aims to recognize event mentions and their arguments from text. The lack of high-quality multilingual EE datasets for model training and evaluation has been the main hindrance. We propose a novel Multilingual Event Extraction dataset (EE) that provides annotation for more than 50K event mentions in 8 typologically different languages.

COfEE consists of two hierarchy levels (event types and event sub-types) that include new categories relating to environmental issues, cyberspace, criminal activity and natural disasters.

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