SEBERTNets: Sequence Enhanced BERT Networks for Event Entity Extraction Tasks Oriented to the Finance Field

Event extraction lies at the cores of investment analysis and asset management in the financial field, and thus has received much attention. The 2019 China conference on knowledge graph and semantic computing (CCKS) challenge sets up a evaluation competition for event entity extraction task oriented to the finance field. In this task, we mainly focus on how to extract the event entity accurately, and recall all the corresponding event entity effectively. In this paper, we propose a novel model, Sequence Enhanced BERT Networks (SEBERTNets for short), which can inherit the advantages of the BERT,and while capturing sequence semantic information. In addition, motivated by recommendation system, we propose Hybrid Sequence Enhanced BERT Networks (HSEBERTNets for short), which uses a multi-channel recall method to recall all the corresponding event entity. The experimental results show that, the F1 score of SEBERTNets is 0.905 in the first stage, and the F1 score of HSEBERTNets is 0.934 in the first stage, which demonstarate the effectiveness of our methods.

AIM 2020: Scene Relighting and Illumination Estimation Challenge

We review the AIM 2020 challenge on virtual image relighting and illumination estimation. This paper presents the novel VIDIT dataset used in the challenge and the different proposed solutions and final evaluation results over the 3 challenge tracks. The first track considered one-to-one relighting; the objective was to relight an input photo of a scene with a different color temperature and illuminant orientation (i.e., light source position). The goal of the second track was to estimate illumination settings, namely the color temperature and orientation, from a given image. Lastly, the third track dealt with any-to-any relighting, thus a generalization of the first track. The target color temperature and orientation, rather than being pre-determined, are instead given by a guide image. Participants were allowed to make use of their track 1 and 2 solutions for track 3. The tracks had 94, 52, and 56 registered participants, respectively, leading to 20 confirmed submissions in the final competition stage.
