基于事件提示和特征融合原型网络的少样本事件要素抽取

Event Prompt and Feature Fusion Prototype Network for Few-shot Event Argument Extraction

  • 摘要: 少样本事件要素抽取任务要求用极少样本进行要素实体检测和要素实体分类,而传统序列标注方法在该情景下难以将习得知识迁移至新类型。分析该任务发现,要素实体检测为根据给定事件触发词检测与其关联的要素实体,要素实体分类为触发词和与其关联的要素实体间关系的分类,合理解耦后可大大降低该任务与事件类型的强相关性。基于此,该文提出一种基于词级别的两阶段少样本事件要素抽取方法。具体地,构建事件类型提示和触发词显隐式提示相结合的提示策略,促使模型检测与触发词相关的要素实体;构建基于边界学习的原型网络时,通过要素实体特征和包含事件类型信息的高层概念特征的融合,将事件类型强相关的分类简化为基于触发词与关联要素实体的关系分类。在由中英文数据集分别构建的少样本数据集上的实验表明,无论是同领域还是跨领域,该方法都优于基线模型。

     

    Abstract: The task of few-shot event argument extraction requires the detection and classification of event-related argument entities with extremely limited training data, while traditional sequence labeling methods often struggle to transfer learned knowledge to new argument types in such scenarios. Upon analyzing this task, it was observed that argument entity detection involves detecting entities associated with given trigger words, and argument entity classification involves categorizing the relationships between trigger words and associated argument entities. Decoupling these tasks rationally can significantly reduce the strong dependence on event types.Based on this insight, this paper proposes a two-stage few-shot event argument extraction approach at the word level. Specifically, it introduces a combination of event type prompts, explicit trigger word prompts and implicit trigger word prompts to enable the model to detect trigger-related argument entities. When constructing a prototype network based on margin learning, the fusion of argument entity features and high-level conceptual features containing event type information simplifies the event type-related classification into a relationship classification based on trigger words and associated argument entities. Experiments on few-shot datasets constructed from either Chinese or English datasets demonstrate that this approach outperforms baseline models in both within-domain and cross-domain scenarios.
