Abstract:

To address the two major issues of reduced embedding similarity due to language differences in multilingual scenarios and the frequent neglect of implicit relational connections in social message graphs, a multilingual social media event detection method called MGCGNN is proposed based on graph completion. First, message embeddings are generated using pre-trained language models, and cross-lingual entity alignment is achieved via Wikipedia entity IDs to construct an initial multilingual social message graph. Subsequently, a random walk strategy is employed to capture long-range semantic associations between nodes, completing the message graph structure and thereby enhancing event clustering effectiveness. Experiments on a trilingual hybrid dataset built upon the Event2012 dataset demonstrate that the proposed method significantly outperforms baseline models, with an average NMI improvement of 4%–5%, validating higher precision and effectiveness in complex multilingual scenarios.

摘要：

针对多语言场景下, 语言差异导致嵌入相似度降低以及社交消息图中隐含的关联关系常被忽略这两大问题, 提出一种基于图补全的多语言社交媒体事件检测方法MGCGNN。首先基于预训练语言模型生成消息嵌入, 借助维基百科实体ID实现跨语言实体对齐, 构建初始多语言社交消息图; 然后采用随机游走策略, 捕捉节点间隐含的长距离语义关联, 补全消息图结构, 从而增强事件聚类效果。在基于Event2012数据集构建的三语混合数据集上的实验结果表明, 所提方法的性能显著超越基线模型, NMI值平均提升4%~5%, 证明该方法在复杂多语言场景下具备更高的精确性与有效性。
