An Intermediate Representation for the Interpretation of Temporal Expressions
نویسندگان
چکیده
The interpretation of temporal expressions in text is an important constituent task for many practical natural language processing tasks, including question-answering, information extraction and text summarisation. Although temporal expressions have long been studied in the research literature, it is only more recently, with the impetus provided by exercises like the ACE Program, that attention has been directed to broad-coverage, implemented systems. In this paper, we describe our approach to intermediate semantic representations in the interpretation of temporal expressions.

Approximating the Distributions of Singular Quadratic Expressions and their Ratios
Noncentral indefinite quadratic expressions in possibly non- singular normal vectors are represented in terms of the difference of two positive definite quadratic forms and an independently distributed linear combination of standard normal random variables. This result also ap- plies to quadratic forms in singular normal vectors for which no general representation is currently available. The ...

متن کاملThe Semantic Representation of Temporal Expressions in Text
Temporal expressions—references to points in time or periods of time—are widespread in text, and their proper interpretation is essential for any natural language processing task that requires the extraction of temporal information. Work on the interpretation of temporal expressions in text has generally been pursued in one of two paradigms: the formal semantics approach, where an attempt is ma...

The French law, contrary to the Iranian law, has given the mother a kind of representation for guardianship and training of the child. This is a development that was established in France in 1970, and in Article 6 of the Iranian Family Protection Act of 2012, the granting of representation to the mother over the legal procedure for demand of the child or the incompetent has been entrusted...
متن کاملEvent-Related Potentials of Bottom-Up and Top-Down Processing of Emotional Faces
Introduction: Emotional stimulus is processed automatically in a bottom-up way or can be processed voluntarily in a top-down way. Imaging studies have indicated that bottom-up and top-down processing are mediated through different neural systems. However, temporal differentiation of top-down versus bottom-up processing of facial emotional expressions has remained to be clarified. The present st...
