Abstract: Classifying temporal relation between events is a significant subsequent study of event extraction.With the development of deep learning,neural network plays a vital role in the task of event temporal relation classification.However,it remains a major challenge for conventional RNNs or CNNs to handle structural information and capture long distance dependence relations.To address this issue,this paper proposed a neural architecture for event temporal relation classification based on self-attention mechanism,which can directly capture relationships between two arbitrary tokens.The classification performance is improved significantly through combing this mechanism with nonlinear layers.The contrast experiments on TimeBank-Dense and Richer Event Description datasets prove that the proposed method outperforms most of the existing neural methods.

Key words: Temporal relation, Deep learning, Self-attention mechanism
