- W118771212 abstract "Events in the world around us are frequently discussed in natural language, and their accurate identification is central to tasks from intelligence analytics to question answering. They are nonetheless very diverse, both in ontology and in how they are referred to, and have complex but ill-defined structures. For these reasons, computationally identifying and characterising events by how they are referred to proves very challenging. We establish this argument through a broad survey of computational tasks that identify and characterise references to events. News and social media play an important role in informing the public of events as they occur, thus providing a shared foundation for communication. This work presents several studies into interpreting references to the breadth of events covered in news, before proposing and evaluating a new model for computationally grounding newsworthy event references. We perform two annotation studies over broad-coverage news text, the first applying a coarse-grained event typology to mark event-referring sentences. Its results concur with our analysis of inter-annotator agreement and type distribution in the ace05 corpus (Walker et al., 2006): both highlight the brittleness of such type schemas which leave a long, heavy tail of news events unmarked. The second annotation introduces a new approach to event typology, which employs a hierarchy of types that is extended over the course of annotation. This yields more complete coverage of newsworthy events, but suggests that there is no definitive means of structuring the space of events. The second annotation is also novel in characterising each news report in terms of its update event and topic event, focusing only on the notable event content of news. We find that topic is too ambiguously characterised as a single event, suggesting that we should instead consider the explicit references to related events that a journalist provides as background. Despite Wikipedia’s utility for processing entity references, an analysis of its event articles shows that they are unsuitable for informing news event detection and disambiguation: they are strongly biased towards those that are enumerable (e.g. sports series), or that are collections of newsworthy sub-events (e.g. Vietnam War); their distribution, granularity and referential forms are mismatched to news media’s event coverage. In this context, we propose the event linking task. By analogy with named entity linking or disambiguation (Bunescu and Pasca, 2006), event linking models the grounding of references to notable events. It treats a news archive as a proxy for the set of events it reports, and defines the disambiguation of a newsworthy event reference as a link to the article that first reports it. When two references are linked to the same article, they need not be references to the same event. We argue that precise event coreference is often too strict: it does not account for the intricate structure of events, nor the flexibility of referential language. By considering events at the granularity in which they are reported, we hope to provide a more intuitive" @default.
