In this paper, we propose a new task of subevent generation for an unseen process to evaluate the understanding of the coherence of subevent actions and objects.To solve the problem, we design SubeventWriter, a sub-event sequence generation framework with a coherence controller.Given an unseen process, the framework can iteratively construct the subevent sequence by generating one sub-event at each iteration.We also design a very effective coherence controller to decode more coherent sub-events.As our extensive experiments and analysis indicate, SubeventWriter 1 can generate more reliable and meaningful sub-event sequences for unseen processes.
