Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Event extraction plays a crucial role in natural language processing. However, in the biomedical domain, the presence of nested events adds complexity to event extraction compared to single events, and these events usually have strong semantic relationships and constraints. Previous approaches ignored the binding connections between these complex nested events. This study aims to develop a unified framework based on event constraint information that jointly extract biomedical event triggers and arguments and enhance the performance of nested biomedical event extraction.
