Revisiting Classical Chinese Event Extraction with Ancient Literature Information (2025.acl-long)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Existing studies on classical Chinese event extraction focus on grafting the complex modeling from English or modern Chinese works, neglecting the unique characteristic of this language.
Approach: They propose a Literary Vision-Language Model (VLM) for classical Chinese event extraction . they integrate annotations, historical background and character glyphs to capture the inner- and outer-context information from the sequence.
Outcome: The proposed model can capture the inner- and outer-context information at nearly zero cost.
