To enhance the accuracy of document-level event causality identification, the implicit knowledge within large language models was first leveraged to filter out events related to the target event from the document, constructing a candidate event set. Next, the candidate event set was organized into a fully connected event relationship graph, which was then subjected to conditional constraints. These constraints simplified the fully connected graph into a constrained event relationship graph, reducing noise propagation from irrelevant events. Finally, a self-attention mechanism was used to compute the influence of any node on other nodes in the graph network, and the model was trained with a binary classification loss function incorporating focal loss, further mitigating false positives in causality identification. Experimental results show that in the causality identification tasks, the model achieves a precision of 77.3% for intra-sentence event pair causality identification on the Causal-TimeBank dataset. On the EventStoryLine dataset, it achieves a precision of 75.2% for intra-sentence event pair causality identification, an F1-score of 60.6% for inter-sentence event pair identification, and an F1-score of 59.6% for document-level event pair identification.
