Event extraction is an important natural language processing (NLP) task of identifying events in an unstructured text. Although a plethora of works deal with event extraction from new articles, clinical text etc., only a few works focus on…

System behavior is often expressed by causal relations in requirements (e.g., If event 1, then event 2). Automatically extracting this embedded causal knowledge supports not only reasoning about requirements dependencies, but also various…

While the predictive performance of modern statistical dependency parsers relies heavily on the availability of expensive expert-annotated treebank data, not all annotations contribute equally to the training of the parsers. In this paper,…

Using the attention map based probing frame-work from (Clark et al., 2019), we observe that, on the RAMS dataset (Ebner et al., 2020), BERT's attention heads have modest but well above-chance ability to spot event arguments sans any…

Matching for causal inference is a well-studied problem, but standard methods fail when the units to match are text documents: the high-dimensional and rich nature of the data renders exact matching infeasible, causes propensity scores to…
