About
Event schemas can guide our understanding and ability to make predictions with respect to what might happen next. We propose a new Event Graph Schema, where two event types are connected through multiple paths involving entities that fill important roles in a coherent story.
Event Graph Schema Induction Task
- Input: Instance graphs contaning entities, relations, and events from input documents.
- Output: A set of recurring graph schemas from instance graphs. Figure 1 shows the example input and output of event graph schema induction.
