A convolution BiLSTM neural network model for Chinese event extraction
Chinese event extraction is a challenging task in information extraction. Previous approaches highly depend on sophisticated feature engineering and complicated natural language processing (NLP) tools. In this paper, we first come up with the language specific issue in Chinese event extraction, and then propose a convolution bidirectional LSTM neural network that combines LSTM and CNN to capture both sentence-level and lexical information without any hand-craft features. Experiments on ACE 2005 dataset show that our approaches can achieve competitive performances in both trigger labeling and argument role labeling
Evaluation campaigns and TRECVid
The TREC Video Retrieval Evaluation (TRECVid) is an
international benchmarking activity to encourage research
in video information retrieval by providing a large test collection, uniform scoring procedures, and a forum for organizations interested in comparing their results. TRECVid completed its fifth annual cycle at the end of 2005 and in 2006 TRECVid will involve almost 70 research organizations, universities and other consortia. Throughout its existence, TRECVid has benchmarked both interactive and automatic/manual searching for shots from within a video
corpus, automatic detection of a variety of semantic and
low-level video features, shot boundary detection and the
detection of story boundaries in broadcast TV news. This
paper will give an introduction to information retrieval (IR) evaluation from both a user and a system perspective, highlighting that system evaluation is by far the most prevalent type of evaluation carried out. We also include a summary of TRECVid as an example of a system evaluation benchmarking campaign and this allows us to discuss whether
such campaigns are a good thing or a bad thing. There are
arguments for and against these campaigns and we present
some of them in the paper concluding that on balance they
have had a very positive impact on research progress
