摘要: 在文档级事件论元抽取任务中,现有基于提示学习的模型难以全面理解文档的整体语义,并且忽略了文档与提示模板之间的交互。对此,提出一种基于层次依赖聚合和事件增强机制的文档级事件论元抽取模型。首先,通过BART获取输入序列的向量表示。然后,提出由语义层次依赖感知机制和结构层次依赖感知机制组成的层次依赖聚合结构,分别捕捉实体提及间的语义关联和结构信息,并通过自注意力机制动态融合。接着,利用融合关系矩阵引导关系依存图中更多的上下文信息聚合到相应实体提及上,从而更新提及表示;该提及表示被加入到原始输入表示,以增强模型对实体关系的感知能力及文档与提示模板之间的交互能力。最后,通过事件增强机制使模型聚焦于与当前抽取事件相关的上下文信息,减少信息干扰和冗余,提高论元抽取的准确性。在两个公开数据集RAMS和WikiEvent上进行了模型验证,实验结果表明,所提模型的F1值均优于对比模型,综合性能得到有效提升。

Abstract: In the task of document-level event argument extraction,existing prompt-based learning models face challenges in comprehensively capturing the holistic semantic understanding of documents and neglect the interaction between documents and prompt templates.To address these limitations,a novel document-level event argument extraction model is proposed,incorporating hierarchical dependency aggregation and an event enhancement mechanism.Initially,the vector representations of the input sequence are obtained through BART.Subsequently,a hierarchical dependency aggregation architecture is introduced,consisting of a semantic hierarchical dependency-aware mechanism and a structural hierarchical dependency-aware mechanism,designed to capture semantic correlations and structural information among entity mentions respectively.These features are dynamically fused via a self-attention mechanism.The integrated relation matrix is then leveraged to guide the aggregation of contextual information from relational dependency graphs onto corresponding entity mentions,thereby updating mention representations.These enhanced representations are subsequently incorporated into the original input representations to strengthen the model's capability in perceiving entity relations and facilitating document-prompt template interactions.Finally,an event enhancement mechanism is implemented to prioritize contextually relevant information for the current extraction task while mitigating information redundancy and interference,ultimately improving argument extraction accuracy.Experimental results conducted on RAMS and WikiEvent two public dataset demonstrate that the proposed model achieves superior F1 scores compared to baseline models,with significant improvements in comprehensive performance metrics.

Key words: Document-level event argument extraction, Prompt learning, Hierarchical dependency aggregation, Self-attention mechanism, Event enhancement mechanism
