Challenge: Existing datasets only cover limited relation types at once, which prevents models from taking full advantage of relation interactions.
Approach: They construct a large-scale human-annotated ERE dataset with improved annotation schemes to address these drawbacks.
Outcome: The proposed dataset is larger than existing datasets of all the ERE tasks by at least an order of magnitude.
