Event Representation Learning

Event representation learning aims to create effective computational representations of events from various data sources, such as text and speech, to improve natural language processing and other applications. Current research focuses on enhancing these representations using techniques like contrastive learning, graph neural networks, and prompt engineering, often incorporating pre-trained language models and leveraging structural information within events (e.g., subject-predicate-object relationships). Improved event representations are crucial for tasks like event extraction, relation extraction, and sound event detection, ultimately leading to more sophisticated and accurate AI systems for information processing and understanding.
