The task of event extraction (EE) aims to find the events and event-related argument information from the text and represent them in a structured format. Most previous works try to solve the problem by separately identifying multiple substructures and aggregating them to get the complete event structure. The problem with the methods is that it fails to identify all the interdependencies among the event participants (event-triggers, arguments, and roles). In this paper, we represent each event record in a unique tuple format that contains trigger phrase, trigger type, argument phrase, and corresponding role information. Our proposed pointer network-based encoder-decoder model generates an event tuple in each time step by exploiting the interactions among event participants and presenting a truly end-to-end solution to the EE task. We evaluate our model on the ACE2005 dataset, and experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our model by achieving competitive performance compared to the state-of-the-art methods.

A Graph Convolution Network-based System for Technical Domain Identification
Alapan Kuila | Ayan Das | Sudeshna Sarkar
Proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Natural Language Processing (ICON): TechDOfication 2020 Shared Task

This paper presents the IITKGP contribution at the Technical DOmain Identification (TechDOfication) shared task at ICON 2020. In the preprocessing stage, we applied part-of-speech (PoS) taggers and dependency parsers to tag the data. We trained a graph convolution neural network (GCNN) based system that uses the tokens along with their PoS and dependency relations as features to identify the domain of a given document. We participated in the subtasks for coarse-grained domain classification in the English (Subtask 1a), Bengali (Subtask 1b) and Hindi language (Subtask 1d), and, the subtask for fine-grained domain classification task within Computer Science domain in English language (Subtask 2a).
