摘要
Supervised models for event detection usually require large-scale human-annotated training data,especially neural models.A data augmentation technique is proposed to improve the performance of event detection by generating paraphrase sentences to enrich expressions of the original data.Specifically,based on an existing human-annotated event detection dataset,we first automatically build a paraphrase dataset and label it with a designed event annotation alignment algorithm.To alleviate possible wrong labels in the generated paraphrase dataset,a multi-instance learning(MIL)method is adopted for joint training on both the gold human-annotated data and the generated paraphrase dataset.Experimental results on a widely used dataset ACE2005 show the effectiveness of our approach.
