摘要: 抽取事件之间的因果关系能够应用于自动问答、知识提取、常识推理等方面。隐式因果关系由于缺乏明显的词汇特征和中文复杂的句法结构,使得其抽取极为困难,已成为当前研究的难点。相比而言,显示因果关系的抽取比较容易、准确率高,且因果关系事件之间的逻辑关系稳定。为此,文中提出了一种原创的方法,首先通过对抽取的显示因果事件对进行事件动作的归一化处理后形成事件方向,然后对事件主体进行泛化处理,最终形成标准的匹配因果事件对集合。利用此集合根据事件相似度从语句中抽取隐式因果事件对。为了识别更多的隐式因果关系,文中同时提出了一种因果连接词发现算法。在网易财经、腾讯财经和新浪财经上爬取的实验数据验证,对事件动作进行归一化处理后形成事件方向相比传统方法抽取准确率提高了1.02%。

Abstract: Extracting the causality between events can be applied to automatic question answering,knowledge extraction,common sense reasoning and so on.Due to the lack of obvious lexical features and the complex syntactic structure of Chinese,it is very difficult to extract implicit causality,which has become the bottleneck of the current research.In contrast,it is easy to extract expli-cit causality with high accuracy,and the logical causal relationship between events is stable.Therefore,an original method is proposed in this paper.Firstly,the extracted explicit causal event pairs are normalized to form the event direction,and then the event subject is generalized to form a standard set of matched causal event pairs.This set is used to extract implicit causal event pairs according to event similarity.In order to identify more implicit causality,a new causal connectives discovery algorithm is proposed.The experimental data crawling on NetEase Finance,Tencent Finance and Sina Finance show that the extraction precision is improved by 1.02% compared with the traditional method.

Key words: Causal connectives, Causality, Event action, Event extraction, Syntactic structure analysis
