Script event prediction requires a model to predict the subsequent event given an existing event context.
Tn this paper, they first extract narrative event chains from large quantities of news corpus, and then construct a narrative event evolutionary graph (NEEG) based on the extracted chains. To solve the inference problem on NEEG, they present a scaled graph neural network (SGNN) to model event interactions and learn better event representations based on network embedding.
1. NEEG Construction
We extract a set of narrative event chains S = {s1, s2, s3, ...., sN}, where si =
{T, e1, e2, e3, ..., em}. For example, si can be {T = customer, walk(T, restaurant, -), seat(T, -, -), read(T, menu, -), order(T,
food, -), serve(waiter, food, T), eat(T, food, fork)}. T is the protagonist entity (主角) shared by all the events i
