Abstract: 
Script is the structured knowledge representation of prototypical real-life event sequences. Learning the commonsense knowledge inside the script can be helpful for machines in understanding natural language and drawing commonsensible inferences. script learning is an interesting and promising research direction, in which a trained script learning system can process narrative texts to capture script knowledge and draw inferences. However, there are currently no survey articles on script learning, so we are providing this comprehensive survey to deeply investigate the standard framework and the major research topics on script learning. This research field contains three main topics: event representations, script learning models, and evaluation approaches. For each topic, we systematically summarize and categorize the existing script learning systems, and carefully analyze and compare the advantages and disadvantages of the representative systems. We also discuss the current state of the research and possible future directions.

摘要:脚本是现实世界中日常事件的结构化知识表示。学习脚本中蕴含的丰富常识知识可以帮助机器理解自然语言并做出常识性推理。脚本学习是一个颇具用途及潜力的研究方向,一个经过训练的脚本学习系统可以处理叙事文本,捕捉其中的脚本知识进而做出推理。然而目前尚不存在针对脚本学习的综述性文章,因此我们写作本文以深入研究脚本学习的基本框架和主要研究方向。脚本学习主要包括3个重点研究内容:事件表示方式、脚本学习模型以及性能评估方法。针对每一主题,对现有脚本学习系统进行了系统总结和分类,仔细分析和比较了其中代表性系统的优缺点。此外,研究并讨论了脚本学习的发展现状以及未来研究方向。
