For example, the following are all possible event arguments: • the U.S. invasion of Iraq • Red Cross admitting Israeli and Palestinian groups • GM offers buyouts to union employees In this paper, we describe a method to match an event query argument to the sentences that mention that event.
we seek to model p(s contains e | s, e), where e is a textual description of an event (such as an event argument for a GALE distillation query) and where s is an arbitrary sentence.
