ECB+数据集介绍

一、Event Definition

• ACE：an “event“ is defined as a specific occurrence of something that happens, often a change of state, involving participants (LDC, 2005B).
• TimeML：“events” are characterized as “situations that happen or occur”

ECB+数据集对上述定义做了拓展，将来源于新闻语料中的事件定义为4个组件的组合

• action：describing what happens or holds true
• time slot：describing when something happens or holds true
• location：specifying where something happens or holds true
• participant ： gives the answer to the question: who or what is
  involved with, undergoes change as result of, or facilitates an event or a state. We
  divide event participants into human participants (viz. §2.2.3.3) and non-human
  participants

ECB+数据集在标注数据集时是以事件为中心。
