Joint Event Extraction via Structural Semantic Matching

Event Extraction (EE) is one of the essential tasks in information extraction, which aims to detect event mentions from text and find the corresponding argument roles. The EE task can be abstracted as a process of matching the semantic definitions and argument structures of event types with the target text. This paper encodes the semantic features of event types and makes structural matching with target text. Specifically, Semantic Type Embedding (STE) and Dynamic Structure Encoder (DSE) modules are proposed. Also, the Joint Structural Semantic Matching (JSSM) model is built to jointly perform event detection and argument extraction tasks through a bidirectional attention layer. The experimental results on the ACE2005 dataset indicate that our model achieves a significant performance improvemen

On the Migration Origin of the Hercules Moving Group with GAIA, LAMOST, APOGEE, and GALAH Surveys

Using Gaia DR3 data and the wavelet transformation technique, we study the substructures of the Hercules moving group (HMG): Hercules 1 (H1) and Hercules 2 (H2). Spectroscopic survey data from LAMOST, APOGEE, and GALAH are used to obtain metallicities and ages of stars belonging to the HMG. Our analysis leads to several key findings as follows: ($a$) the HMG is on average richer in metallicity than the Galactic disk, with H2 being metal richer than H1; ($b$) the HMG likely has a radial metallicity gradient distinct from that of the disk; ($c$) the HMG is on average older than the disk, with H2 being older than H1; ($d$) the HMG likely has a radial age gradient distinct from that of the disk; and ($e$) the metallicity and age distributions of the HMG depend mainly on the Galactic radius but show no dependence on the azimuthal velocity. Taken all together, we conclude that the HMG is composed primarily of stars undergoing radial migration. We suggest that the HMG is associated with a higher-order dynamical resonance of the bar of the Galaxy.Comment: 15 pages, 6 figures. Accepted by Ap
