The paper introduces a unified multi-domain and multi-task generative framework for event extraction that incorporates explicit domain conditioning signals and task-specific prompts. This design allows a single model to adapt dynamically to different event schemas without needing full event label sets during inference, supporting both pipeline and end-to-end extraction. Experiments on various benchmarks show competitive performance, strong cross-domain generalization, and practical scalability while maintaining domain-specific precision.

Event analysis is an essential and fundamental direction of information extraction, involving various event-centric tasks at different granularity of documents. While large language models (LLMs) have preliminarily achieved promising performance in part of these tasks individually, their capability in event analysis still lacks comprehensive understanding due to restricted document granularity, task designs, and data source of existing benchmarks.
EAGER is a reinforcement learning framework for generative event extraction that uses fine‑grained verifiable rewards and Schema‑Contrastive Advantage Estimation to address advantage collapse in sparse binary reward settings. The reward design focuses on structural validity, extraction accuracy, groundedness, coverage, over‑generation, and span precision. Across seven benchmark datasets, EAGER outperforms prompting, supervised fine‑tuning, and previous reinforcement learning baselines, achieving a substantial improvement over the strongest prior method.

The paper introduces a scalable framework that uses finetuned large language models (LLMs) to translate unstructured textual resources into structured event logs for process mining. By creating a new text-to-log dataset and finetuning LLMs on it, the authors demonstrate that the resulting models produce high‑fidelity event logs, outperforming few‑shot or zero‑shot prompting methods. This approach enables previously unused organizational data, such as incident tickets and manuals, to be incorporated into process mining workflows.

Process mining (PM) provides a powerful framework for discovering and optimizing operational processes from event data. However, the efficacy of PM techniques is strictly predicated on the availabilit...
The paper introduces CLUE, a contrastive learning framework that automates event type induction, naming, and annotation without relying on domain experts. It proposes a joint embedding representation that captures both verb-centric and semantic aspects of events, and uses contrastive loss–guided clustering to induce event types. The framework also includes a method for refining and naming the induced event types, and experimental results demonstrate its effectiveness.

The paper introduces a configurable semantic chunking framework for biomedical information extraction in retrieval‑augmented generation systems. It replaces the fixed‑size chunking stage of BioMedRAG with entity‑preserving windows, trigger‑centered chunking, proposition‑first extraction, tiered trigger prioritization, and hierarchical relation resolution, while keeping the rest of the pipeline unchanged. Experiments on relation extraction benchmarks (GM‑CIHT, DDI, ChemProt) and adverse event classification (ADE) show that the hybrid configuration boosts performance on datasets with explicit relation cues, achieving 82.6% F1 on GM‑CIHT compared to 74.2% with the baseline.

The paper introduces MACE, a Multi-Agent Candidate Event acquisition method designed to improve event linking by refining event structure before the linking step. MACE employs evidence-specialized large language model agents to gather time, location, participant, and event-type evidence, exposes intermediate queries to candidate-event lookup tools, and allows a coordinator to revise the evidence set before final candidate construction. Experiments on two event linking benchmarks demonstrate that integrating MACE consistently boosts accuracy across different event linking models without altering the underlying models.
