Challenge: Existing methods for event extraction neglect grammatical incorrectness, structure misalignment, and semantic drifting . et al., 2004; Ahn, 2006) show that the proposed method generates more diverse text representations for event extracting compared with the state-of-the-art.
Approach: They propose a framework for event extraction that generates additional training data and iteratively selects the effective subset from the generated training data.
Outcome: The proposed method generates more diverse representations of training data and achieves comparable results with the state-of-the-art.
