Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Most of the Existing methods for causal relationship extraction utilize patterns such as clue expressions, but it is difficult to extract between those that do not fit the pattern or separated texts. Therefore, in our study, we tried an approach using the pre-trained model BERT. To overcome BERT input length limitation, we used Transformer to extract the causal relationships between the texts features. In addition, for data augmentation and imbalance controlling, we generated input from subsets of sentences instead of whole document. As a result, the extraction evaluation F value of the causal relationship improved from 0.400 to 0.458.
