چکیده

We describe an experiment on a temporal ordering task in this paper. We show that by selecting event pairs based on discourse structure and by modifying the pre-existent temporal classification scheme to fit the data better, we significantly improve inter-annotator agreement, as well as broaden the coverage of the task. We also present analysis of the current temporal classification scheme and propose ways to improve it in future work.
