In Natural Language Processing(NLP), Event Temporal Relation Extraction (ETRE) is to recognize the temporal relations of two events. Prior studies have noted the importance of language models for ETRE. However, the restricted pre-trained knowledge of Small Language Models(SLMs) limits their capabili
Zero-shot event-relational reasoning is an important task in natural language processing, and existing methods jointly learn a variety of event-relational prefixes and inference-form prefixes to achieve such tasks. However, training prefixes consumes large computational resources and lacks interpret…
Document-level event argument extraction (EAE) is a critical task in natural language processing. While most prior approaches rely on supervised training with large labeled datasets or resource-intensive fine-tuning, recent studies explore in-context learning (ICL) with LLMs to reduce data dependenc
In the Multimodal Sentiment Analysis task, most existing approaches focus on extracting modality-consistent information from raw unimodal data and integrating it into multimodal representations for sentiment classification. However, these methods often assume that all modalities contribute equally t…
Event representation learning plays a crucial role in numerous natural language processing (NLP) tasks, as it facilitates the extraction of semantic features associated with events. Current methods of learning event representation based on contrastive learning processes positive examples with single…
Few-shot Event Detection (FSED) is a meaningful task due to the limited labeled data and expensive manual labeling. Some prompt-based methods are used in FSED. However, these methods require large GPU memory due to the increased length of input tokens caused by concatenating prompts, as well as addi…
Understanding and analyzing event temporal relations is a crucial task in Natural Language Processing (NLP). This task, known as Event Temporal Relation Extraction (ETRE), aims to identify and extract temporal connections between events in text. Recent studies focus on locating the relative position…
Document-level biomedical relation extraction (Bio-DocuRE) is an important branch of biomedical text mining that aims to automatically extract all relation facts from the biomedical text. Since there are a considerable number of relations in biomedical documents that need to be judged by other exist…
