Discourse-constrained Temporal Annotation
نویسندگان
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.

We describe a Chinese temporal annotation experiment that produced a sizable data set for the TempEval-2 evaluation campaign. We show that while we have achieved high inter-annotator agreement for simpler tasks such as identification of events and time expressions, temporal relation annotation proves to be much more challenging. We show that in order to improve the inter-annotator agreement it ...
متن کاملA Discourse-Annotated Corpus of Conjoined VPs
English grammars indicate a variety of relations holding between conjoined VPs. VPs conjoined by and evince such senses as Result, Temporal Sequence and Concession. Although all these senses are ones associated with discourse relations, conjoined VPs have not been fully included in discourse annotation.

متن کاملAnnotation and Analysis of Discourse Relations, Temporal Relations and Multi-Layered Situational Relations in Japanese Texts
This paper proposes a methodology for building a specialized Japanese data set for recognizing temporal relations and discourse relations. In addition to temporal and discourse relations, multilayered situational relations that distinguish generic and specific states belonging to different layers in a discourse are annotated. Our methodology has been applied to 170 text fragments taken from Wik...
