Specifically, we extract event pairs as well as longer event sequences consisting of strongly associated events that often appear in a particular textual order in narrative paragraphs, by calculating Causal Potential (Beamer and Girju, 2009;Hu et al., 2013) between events.
we obtained 19k event pairs and 25k event sequences with three to five events from the 287k narrative paragraphs we identified across three genres, news articles, novel books and blogs.
