A Scalable Cross-Domain Event Extraction System via a Unified Generative Training Framework
Year: 2026
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: Event extraction is fundamental to information extraction. Prior approaches often separate event detection and argument extraction or depend on dataset-specific designs, limiting scalability and cross-domain generalization. We propose a unified generative, sequence-to-sequence framework that performs all event extraction subtasks jointly and supports both end-to-end and pipeline configurations. We fine-tune pre-trained language models on multiple event datasets across diverse domains, enabling a single model to retain domain-specific semantics while generalizing over large, evolving label spaces. Cross-domain experiments show strong, robust performance across datasets, demonstrating a scalable solution for real-world event extraction. We demonstrate these capabilities through a web-based application tailored for researchers and practitioners. The platform supports inspection of different configurations and facilitates cross-domain comparisons.
