Reading the Manual: Event Extraction as Definition Comprehension
Table 2: Zero-shot results on FrameNet frames. Trigger classification performance is equivalent to trigger identification performance because we evaluate on only one frame in each zero-shot learning experiment.
['[BOLD] Frame', '[BOLD] Trigger  [BOLD] Id.', '[BOLD] Trigger  [BOLD] Cls.', '[BOLD] Argument  [BOLD] Id.', '[BOLD] Argument  [BOLD] Cls.']
We additionally investigate the model’s ability to generalize to unseen event types using the same dataset as the few-shot setting. The best performance is achieved on the Attack frame, but frames such as Statement achieve poor performance.
