Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods for document-level multi-event extraction neglect the fine-grained difference between events in multi-documents, which leads to event confusion and missing. |
| Approach: | They propose an event-specific probe-based method to sniff multiple events by querying each corresponding argument library. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method outperforms the state-of-the-art method in the recall of multi-events. |
