Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Objective: Event extraction plays a crucial role in natural language processing. However, in the biomedical domain, the presence of nested events adds complexity to event extraction compared to single events, and these events usually have strong semantic relationships and constraints. Previous approaches ignored the binding connections between these complex nested events. This study aims to develop a unified framework based on event constraint information that jointly extract biomedical event triggers and arguments and enhance the performance of nested biomedical event extraction. Material and Methods: We propose a multi -task learning framework based on constraint information called CMBEE for the task of biomedical event extraction. The N-tuple form of event patterns is used to represent the constrained information, which is integrated into role detection and event type classification tasks. The framework use attention mechanism and gating mechanism to explore the fusion of multiple tuple information, as well as local and global constrained information fusion methods to dig further into the connections between events. Results: Experimental results demonstrate that our proposed method achieves the highest F1 score on a multilevel event extraction biomedical (MLEE) corpus and performs favorably on the biomedical natural language processing shared task 2013 Genia event corpus (GE 13). Conclusions: The experimental results indicate that modeling event patterns and constraints for multi -event extraction tasks is effective for complex biomedical event extraction. The fusion strategy proposed in this study, which incorporates different constraint information, helps to better express semantic information.
