Overview

CMNEE is a large-scale, document-level open-source Chinese Military News Event Extraction dataset. It contains 17,000 documents and 29,223 events, which are all manually annotated based on a pre-defined schema for the military domain including 8 event types and 11 argument role types.

About CMNEE

Relevant Competition

CMNEE was used to support a competition "Joint Extraction of Specific Domain Multi-Events Information" held by Laboratory for Big Data and Decision, National University of Defense Technology. Although the formal competition has ended, the evaluation has been reopened to drive related research forward. The competition tasks will remain open for sustained benchmarking, and everyone is welcome to participate in the challenge. The competition organizers will continue to monitor the leaderboard results to select outstanding teams.

Note that in order to facilitate the organisation and advancement of the competition, there are 3 main differences between CMNEE (evaluated in our paper) and FNDEE (released in the competition platform):

• Data split: FNDEE was divided into five subsets, which can be found in the introduction to the competition. CMNEE was divided into train, valid and test set.
• Test label: Test sets of FNDEE have no label information.
• Evaluation method: CMNEE used common metrics (Precision, Recall and F1-score) to evalute systematically while FNDEE used the average of Trigger F1-score, argument F1-score and overlapping argument F1-score to evaluate. Detailed information can be found in our paper and the competition website.

    abstract = "Extracting structured event knowledge, including event triggers and corresponding arguments, from military texts is fundamental to many applications, such as intelligence analysis and decision assistance. However, event extraction in the military field faces the data scarcity problem, which impedes the research of event extraction models in this domain. To alleviate this problem, we propose CMNEE, a large-scale, document-level open-source Chinese Military News Event Extraction dataset. It contains 17,000 documents and 29,223 events, which are all manually annotated based on a pre-defined schema for the military domain including 8 event types and 11 argument role types. We designed a two-stage, multi-turns annotation strategy to ensure the quality of CMNEE and reproduced several state-of-the-art event extraction models with a systematic evaluation. The experimental results on CMNEE fall shorter than those on other domain datasets obviously, which demonstrates that event extraction for military domain poses unique challenges and requires further research efforts.
