Abstract
The ability to process multilingual texts is important for the event extraction systems, because it not only completes the picture of an event, but also improves the algorithm performance quality. The present paper is a partial overview of the systems that cover this functionality. We focus on language-specific event type identification methods. Obtaining and organizing this knowledge is important for our further experiments on mono- and multilingual detection of socio-political events.
