Task: Question Generation
Input (English): As far as we know, all existing systems treat this task as a pipeline of two separate subtasks, i.e., event extraction and temporal relation classification, and they also assume that gold events are given when training the relation classifier BIBREF0, BIBREF1, BIBREF2, BIBREF3, BIBREF4, BIBREF5. Specifically, they built end-to-end systems that extract events first and then predict temporal relations between them (Fig. FIGREF1). In these pipeline models, event extraction errors will propagate to the relation classification step and cannot be corrected afterwards. Our first contribution is the proposal of a joint model that extracts both events and temporal relations simultaneously (see Fig. FIGREF1).
Output (English): Is this the first paper to propose a joint model for event and temporal relation extraction?
