Joint Event Extraction Model based on Multi-feature Fusion

Event extraction is a challenging problem in information extraction, designed to extract structured information from unstructured text. The existing event extraction methods are mostly based on the pipeline model and use the traditional language representation model for word embedding. It is impossible to model the polysemy and the features is very simple, besides, the pipeline model is also easy to generate cascading errors. Aiming at the above problems, we propose a joint event extraction model, which combines part-of-speech features, entity features and word representation of BERT model. Because of the BERT can't capture local features, we use multi-CNN to capture the local features of different scales. and further use BiLSTM to capture context features to assist joint event extraction. Experimental results show that the precision, recall and F1 of the method on the CEC dataset are 88.83%, 90.91% and 89.86%, respectively, which are 1.61%, 3.6% and 2.6% higher than the PLMEE model.
