Significant work has focused at the level of single sentence contexts, such as in semantic role labeling (SRL; Gildea and Jurafsky, 2000; Ouchi et al., 2018, inter alia) . Unfortunately even perfect performance in SRL will be limited by the existence of arguments outside the sentence boundary, leading to prior work Silberer and Frank, 2012; Ebner et al., 2020) on an alternative paradigm variously called implicit role resolution or argument linking, where an event trigger (e.g. \"attack\") evokes a set of roles (e.g. AT-TACKER, TARGET) to be filled, and they are linked to explicit argument mentions found in text. In argument linking, possible candidate arguments are first detected, then linked to specific roles of detected events. This bears similarity to coreference resolution, where document-level context can be aptly utilized. For an example, see Figure 1 .",

"text": "This formulation is similar to the resolution of referring expressions in conversational dialogues (\u00c7 elikyilmaz et al., 2014) , where a current utterance is considered to invoke an intent (e.g. BUY-BOOK) , accompanied by a number of slots (e.g. 1 Our code can be found at https://github.com/ wanmok/joint-arglinking. NAME, AUTHOR, PUBLISHER, etc.). Even more than in event argument linking, in dialogue systems the sentence-level (utterance-level) context often fails to contain all salient arguments (slots): slots from previous rounds of dialogue may often be relevant to the current intent. 2 We propose a novel model for joint modeling of potential arguments inspired by Chen et al. (2019) for slot-filling in dialogue systems, which proposed to jointly predict spans that are relevant to the intent of the current round of dialogue. Over detected arguments, a Transformer (Vaswani et al., 2017) encoder is placed upon the event trigger and potential arguments to jointly learn the relations between the event trigger and its arguments. The input to this Transformer is no longer tokens but spans: given the Transformer output of each span, a classification loss is utilized to perform argument role classification. We demonstrate this leads to state-of-theart performance on the RAMS argument linking dataset introduced by Ebner et al. (2020), 3 showing the benefits of joint modeling when linking arguments to roles of events.",

Note two major differences as compared to a Transformer that runs on tokens: (1) each input to the Transformer represents a span instead of a token, following Chen et al. (2019) ; (2) since the arguments do not take an explicit sequential order, we forgo the positional embeddings in Transformers, effectively modeling the input as a set of spans instead of a sequence (self-attention exhibits the property of permutation invariance without positional embeddings ). For each argument span input m , we pass the output from the Transformer encoderm to linear layer with the output size being the size of the role set R.

We proposed a joint modeling approach for argument linking that considers the interdependent relationships among argument mentions conditioning on a specific event. Our approach extends from recent work in dialogue systems, viewing a document as essentially a single-side discourse, and where event arguments are recognized as similar to slots that potentially carryover across utterances. Experimental results show our approach achieves superior performance on a recently introduced dataset for modeling discourse-level contexts.",

"text": "Experimental Details We use BERT (BERT-BASE-CASED here) as the encoder for text embedding. The models are setup with tok = span = 768, and are trained using AdamW optimizer (Loshchilov and Hutter, 2019) with learning rate of 3 \u00d7 10 \u22125 for 200 epochs, and the tolerance = 1 \u00d7 10 \u22128 . We employ gradient clipping to avoid exploding gradients with maximum gradient norm 5.0. We also use a linear learning rate scheduler to warmup models for the first 200 iterations.The Transformer encoder has 3 layers with 64 attention heads 9 , and its feed-forward neural networks (FFNNs) for computing the argument / trigger representations are set to have the dim of 2,048. For mention representations, we use two-layer FFNNs with hidden size of 768. Note there are two different sets of parameters for constructing trigger representations and argument representations. All non-linearities used in the paper are GELU (Hendrycks and Gimpel, 2016) . Dropout with rate 0.2 is applied in each levels in the feedforward neural network for argument / trigger representation computation, and also in each layer in the Transformer encoder.For model selection, we pick the best performing model on the dev set and then run it on the test set. Early stopping is used with patience = 10, i.e., if the performance on the dev set did not increase after epochs, stop training.In terms of hyperparameter sweep, we perform grid search over a combination of hyperparameters shown in Table 6 , and choose the set performed best on the dev set.Our models are trained on one Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti GPU. For the joint model, the training time is around 30 mins/epoch, and it takes 70 epochs (around 20 hours) to converge on average. For the independent model, it takes 15mins/epoch and converges in 5 epochs (around 50 mins) on average.",
