• Abstract summary: Complex news events, such as natural disasters and socio-political conflicts, require swift responses from the government and society. We develop a controllable complex news event simulator guided by both the event schema representing domain knowledge. We introduce a geo-diverse commonsense and cultural norm-aware knowledge enhancement component.

• Abstract: Complex news events, such as natural disasters and socio-political conflicts, require swift responses from the government and society. Relying on historical events to project the future is insufficient as such events are sparse and do not cover all possible conditions and nuanced situations. Simulation of these complex events can help better prepare and reduce the negative impact. We develop a controllable complex news event simulator guided by both the event schema representing domain knowledge about the scenario and user-provided assumptions representing case-specific conditions. As event dynamics depend on the fine-grained social and cultural context, we further introduce a geo-diverse commonsense and cultural norm-aware knowledge enhancement component. To enhance the coherence of the simulation, apart from the global timeline of events, we take an agent-based approach to simulate the individual character states, plans, and actions. By incorporating the schema and cultural norms, our generated simulations achieve much higher coherence and appropriateness and are received favorably by participants from a humanitarian assistance organization.

• Harvesting Event Schemas from Large Language Models [38.56772862516626]
  Event schema provides a conceptual, structural and formal language to represent events and model the world event knowledge. It is challenging to automatically induce high-quality and high-coverage event schemas due to the open nature of real-world events, the diversity of event expressions, and the sparsity of event knowledge. We propose a new paradigm for event schema induction -- knowledge harvesting from large-scale pre-trained language models.

• 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.
