Background:

Biomedical event extraction from literature is complex, typically divided into trigger identification and argument detection.
Sequential processing of these sub-tasks limits performance due to missed interactions.
Existing methods struggle with effectively extracting multiple biomedical events simultaneously.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a novel reinforcement learning (RL) framework for enhanced multiple biomedical event extraction.
To improve the integration and interaction between trigger identification and argument detection sub-tasks.
To leverage external biomedical knowledge bases for better text representation and extraction performance.

Main Methods:

A reinforcement learning (RL) framework was proposed, treating trigger identification as the main task and argument detection as the subsidiary task.
Trigger event type assignment in the main task served as the RL action, with argument detection results informing the reward.
Argument detection results were incorporated into the RL environment to aid trigger identification; external knowledge bases were used for representation learning.

Main Results:

The proposed RL framework demonstrated superior performance over baseline methods on two biomedical corpora for multiple event extraction.
Ablation tests confirmed the significant contributions of both RL and external knowledge bases to performance improvements.
The RL approach more effectively exploited supervised information compared to traditional supervised learning paradigms.

Conclusions:

The novel RL framework effectively addresses the limitations of sequential processing in biomedical event extraction.
Integrating trigger identification and argument detection within an RL paradigm enhances the extraction of multiple biomedical events.
The use of external knowledge bases further boosts the performance of biomedical text representation and event extraction.
