事件本体扩展旨在从数据中发现新兴事件类型,并将其合理地嵌入现有事件本体。现有方法通常基于实例级相似性对上下文化触发词表示进行聚类,并将生成的簇附加到本体中。然而,本体扩展需要能表征事件类型的语义层次,而上下文化触发词表示常将语义与表面语境混杂,导致聚类不稳定且层级扩展不可靠。为此,我们提出ConceptE——一种增强概念化的事件本体扩展框架。ConceptE首先通过提示大模型对句子和事件触发词生成简洁的概念名称与自然语言描述,以提取概念级语义;随后联合编码该语义与触发信息,构建与本体推理一致的概念增强表示。该表示设计支持更连贯的事件聚类、更可靠的层级扩展及本体一致的类型命名。在ACE、ERE和MAVEN数据集上的实验表明,ConceptE在所有子任务中均持续优于当前最优方法,尤其在事件聚类的BCubed-F1上提升达12.37%,在层级扩展的Taxo_F1上提升6.48%,验证了方法的有效性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Event ontology expansion aims to discover emerging event types from data and extend them to appropriate positions in the existing event ontology.. Existing methods typically cluster contextualized trigger representations and attach induced clusters to the ontology based on instance-level similarity. However, ontology expansion requires concept-level semantics that characterize event types, whereas contextualized trigger representations often conflate these semantics with surface contextual variation, leading to unstable clustering and unreliable hierarchy expansion. To address this issue, we propose ConceptE, a conceptualization-enhanced framework for event ontology expansion. ConceptE first derives concept-level semantics by prompting an LLM with the sentence and event trigger, producing a concise concept name and a natural-language description. It then jointly encodes these semantics with trigger information to build concept-enhanced representations aligned with ontology-level reasoning. This representation design supports more coherent event clustering, more reliable hierarchy expansion, and ontology-consistent type naming. Experiments on ACE, ERE, and MAVEN demonstrate that ConceptE consistently outperforms state-of-the-art approaches across all subtasks of event ontology expansion. In particular, it achieves improvements of up to 12.37\% in BCubed-F1 for event clustering and 6.48\% in Taxo\_F1 for hierarchy expansion, demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed ConceptE method.
