Modeling Event Salience in Narratives via Barthes’ Cardinal Functions (2020.coling-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods for estimating event salience without annotations are prohibitively costly because they require annotators to understand the concept of event salientity. |
| Approach: | They propose to use Barthes’ definition of event salience to compute event salientity without annotations by using a pre-trained language model. |
| Outcome: | The proposed methods outperform baseline methods on folktales with event salience annotation and fine-tuned language model is key factor in improving the methods. |
