Before revision:  We show that our approach  outperforms multiple baselines and the state-of-the-art in narrative script induction on multiple event modeling tasks.
After revision:  The core idea is to allow semi-supervised external discrete knowledge to guide, but not restrict, the variational latent parameters during training. Our experiments indicate that our approach outperforms multiple baselines and the state-of-the-art in narrative script induction on multiple event modeling tasks.
