Challenge: Document-level event extraction aims to extract structured information from unstructured text.
Approach: They propose a cross-document event extraction pipeline that integrates event information from multiple documents and provides a comprehensive perspective on events.
Outcome: The proposed pipeline achieves about 72% F1 in end-to-end cross-document event extraction, setting up a benchmark for future research.
