Definition
From Mirza (2016)[1]: "In NLP, the definition of an event can be varied depending on the target application. In topic detection and tracking (Allan, 2002), the term event is used interchangeably with topic, which describes something that happens and is usually used to identify a cluster of documents, e.g., Olympics, wars. On the other hand, information extraction provides finer granularity of event definitions, in which events are entities that happen/occur within the scope of a document."
