A Cascaded Machine Learning Approach to Interpreting Temporal Expressions
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new architecture for identifying and interpreting temporal expressions is introduced, in which the large set of complex hand-crafted rules standard in systems for this task is replaced by a series of machine learned classifiers and a much smaller set of context-independent semantic composition rules. Experiments with the TERN 2004 data set demonstrate that overall system performance is comparable to the state-of-the-art, and that normalization performance is particularly good.

Learning Dependency Relations of Japanese Compound Functional Expressions
This paper proposes an approach of processing Japanese compound functional expressions by identifying them and analyzing their dependency relations through a machine learning technique. First, we formalize the task of identifying Japanese compound functional expressions in a text as a machine learning based chunking problem. Next, against the results of identifying compound functional expressio...
متن کاملTimeML-Compliant Analysis of Text Documents
Reasoning with temporal information1 requires a representation of time considerably more involved than just a list of temporal expressions—which typically define the extent of current time extraction efforts. TimeML is an emerging standard for temporal annotation, defining a language for expressing properties and relationships among timedenoting expressions and events in free text. This paper t...
متن کاملMeeting TempEval-2: Shallow Approach for Temporal Tagger
Temporal expressions are one of the important structures in natural language. In order to understand text, temporal expressions have to be identified and normalized by providing ISObased values. In this paper we present a shallow approach for automatic recognition of temporal expressions based on a supervised machine learning approach trained on an annotated corpus for temporal information, nam...
متن کاملTIMEN: An Open Temporal Expression Normalisation Resource
Temporal expressions are words or phrases that describe a point, duration or recurrence in time. Automatically annotating these expressions is a research goal of increasing interest. Recognising them can be achieved with supervised machine learning, but interpreting them accurately (normalisation) is a complex task requiring human knowledge. In this paper, we present TIMEN, a community-driven t...
متن کاملMachine Learning Approaches for Temporal Information Extraction: A comparative study
Temporal expressions are important structures in natural language. In order to understand text, temporal expressions have to be extracted and normalized to ISO-based values. For these purposes rule-based and machine learning techniques were proposed. In this paper we present and compare two approaches for automatic recognition of temporal expressions in free text, based on a supervised machine ...
