Abstract
We consider open domain event extraction, the
task of extracting unconstraint types of events
from news clusters. A novel latent variable
neural model is constructed, which is scalable
to very large corpus. A dataset is collected and
manually annotated, with task-specific evaluation metrics being designed. Results show that
the proposed unsupervised model gives better
performance compared to the state-of-the-art
method for event schema induction.
