Subevent Relation Extraction

This directory contains codes for subevent relation extraction experiments.

Dataset

• MAVEN-ERE
  • Released in this repo.
• HiEve
  • Retrieved from this link. We also share a preprocessed copy in /data.

Brief Method Description

• On MAVEN-ERE, for the n events in each document, we consider each pair of events (altogether n*(n-1) pairs) and classify them.
• On the other datasets, for the n events in each document, we consider each pair of events with restriction e1 appears before e2 (altogether n*(n-1)/2 pairs) and classify them.
• Our implementations refer to this repo.

Overview

• data.py and data_other.py handle data processing and loading part for MAVEN-ERE and other datasets
• main.py is the main access to run on MAVEN-ERE
• main_other.py is the main access to run on the other datasets

Usage

• Running on MAVEN-ERE

  python -u main.py --epochs 20 --eval_steps 100 --log_steps 50

• Running on HiEve

  python -u main_other.py \
  --dataname hievents \
  --epochs 5000 --eval_steps 500 --log_steps 500 --batch_size 16
