Challenge: Existing prompt-based methods for event argument extraction rely on discrete and manually-designed prompts that cannot exploit specific context for each example.
Approach: They propose a prompt-based method that introduces soft prompts to facilitate encoding of individual example context and multiple relevant documents to boost EAE.
Outcome: The proposed method extensively evaluates on benchmark datasets to demonstrate its benefits with state-of-the-art performance.
