event extraction

Collecting protest and conflict event information from news sources enables historical and comparative studies of social movements in social and political sciences. As the collection of event data covers more countries, longer time periods, and more details and granularity, which are more abound in local sources in comparison to international resources, their utility in social science applications multiplies.

The evaluation consists of three tasks:
