While each candidate pair of events should have appeared consecutively as a segment in at least one narrative paragraph, when calculating the CP score, we consider event co-occurrences even when two events are not consecutive in a narrative paragraph but have one or two other events in between.
the same as in (Hu and Walker, 2017), we calculate separate CP scores based on event co-occurrences with zero (consecutive), one or two events in between, and use the weighted average CP score for ranking an event pair, formally, CP (e i , e j ) = 3 .
