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.
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.

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.

CMNIE is a new benchmark for extracting structured information from Chinese military news, covering event triggers, arguments, named entities, and entity relations under a unified schema. The dataset contains 13,000 manually annotated instances with 7 event types, 10 argument roles, 7 entity types, and 8 relation types. Experiments show that current supervised models, zero‑shot LLMs, and fine‑tuned LLMs struggle with relation extraction and exact span matching, highlighting the challenge of joint structured extraction in this domain.
