[Objective] The study tries to improve the performance of entity and event extraction with the help of their correlation. [Methods] Based on the multi-task deep learning, we proposed a joint entity and event extraction model (MDL-J3E), which had the shared layer, the private layer, and the decoding layer. The shared layer generated common features. The private layer had the named entity recognition and event detection modules, which extracted features of the two subtasks based on their general features. The decoding layer analyzed features of each task and generated tag sequence following the constraint rules. [Results] We examined our model with the ACE2005 dataset. The F1 values were 84.15% in the named entity recognition task and 70.96% in the event detection task. [Limitations] We did not evaluate the proposed model with other information extraction scenarios. [Conclusions] Compared with the single task model, our multi-task model has better performance in both named entity recognition and event detection tasks.
