A Scalable Cross-Domain Event Extraction System via a Unified Generative Training Framework

Read the original on arXiv Computation and Language →

The paper introduces a scalable cross‑domain event extraction system built on a unified generative sequence‑to‑sequence framework. It jointly handles event detection and argument extraction, allowing both pipeline and end‑to‑end configurations. By fine‑tuning pretrained language models on multiple event datasets from diverse domains, the system retains domain‑specific semantics while generalizing across large, evolving label spaces, and offers a web‑based application for researchers to upload documents, extract events, visualize triggers and arguments, and compare configurations.

A Multi-Domain and Multi-Task Generative Framework with Explicit Task and Domain Conditioning for Cross-Domain Event Extraction

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.

From Single- to Cross-Document: Benchmarking Multi-Granularity Event Analysis of Large Language Models

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: Enhancing Generative Event Extraction via Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards

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.

Automated Event Log Generation from Unstructured Text Using Finetuned LLMs

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.
