Efficient Document-level Event Extraction via Pseudo-Trigger-aware Pruned Complete Graph
Most previous studies of document-level event extraction mainly focus on building argument chains in an autoregressive way, which achieves a certain success but is inefficient in both training and inference. In contrast to the previous studies, we propose a fast and lightweight model named as PTPCG. In our model, we design a novel strategy for event argument combination together with a non-autoregressive decoding algorithm via pruned complete graphs, which are constructed under the guidance of the automatically selected pseudo triggers. Compared to the previous systems, our system achieves competitive results with 19.8\% of parameters and much lower resource consumption, taking only 3.8\% GPU hours for training and up to 8.5 times faster for inference. Besides, our model shows superior compatibility for the datasets with (or without) triggers and the pseudo triggers can be the supplements for annotated triggers to make further improvements.

Are Triggers Needed for Document-Level Event Extraction?
Most existing work on event extraction has focused on sentence-level texts and presumes the identification of a trigger-span -- a word or phrase in the input that evokes the occurrence of an event of interest. Event argu…
