Abstract: Event argument extraction is a very challenging subtask of event extraction.This task aims to extract the arguments in the event and the role they played.It is found that the semantic features and dependency features of sentences play a very important role in event argument extraction,and the existing methods often don't consider how to integrate them effectively.Therefore,this paper proposes an event argument extraction model using gated graph convolution and dynamic dependency pooling.This method uses BERT to extract the semantic features of sentences,and then two same graph convolution networks are used to extract the dependency features of sentences based on the dependency tree.The output of one graph convolution is used as the gating unit through the activation function.Then semantic features and dependency features are added and fused through gate unit.In addition,a dynamic dependency pooling layer is designed to pool the fused features.The experiment results on ACE2005 dataset show that the proposed model can effectively improve the performance of event argument extraction.

Key words: Dependency features, Event argument extraction, Gate mechanism, Graph convolution, Semantic features
