Extracting Temporal References to Assign Document Event-Time Periods
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a new approach for the automatic assignment of document event-time periods. This approach consists of extracting temporal information from document texts, and translating it into temporal expressions of a formal time model. From these expressions, we are able to approximately calculate the event-time periods of documents. The obtained event-time periods can be useful for both retrieving documents and finding relationships between them, and their inclusion in Information Retrieval Systems can produce significant improvements in their retrieval effectiveness.

Detection of Temporal Document Features for Information Retrieval
In this paper we concern with the automatic generation of document temporal metadata, and how to exploit it in current Information Retrieval and Topic Detection systems. Specifically, we first propose a method to automatically detect the time references appearing in a document and to translate them into a formal time model. Then, we describe an algorithm that constructs the event-time period of...
متن کاملExtracting Events with Informal Temporal References in Personal Histories in Online Communities
We present a system for extracting the dates of illness events (year and month of the event occurrence) from posting histories in the context of an online medical support community. A temporal tagger retrieves and normalizes dates mentioned informally in social media to actual month and year referents. Building on this, an event date extraction system learns to integrate the likelihood of candi...

متن کاملTemporal references and temporal relations in sentence comprehension.
The author investigated the interpretation of temporal references during comprehension of sentences containing a main and subordinate clause. Experiments 1 and 2 examined state and event subordinate clauses, respectively, and showed that subordinate temporal references overlapping with or close to the time of the main clause event were read faster than nonoverlapping distant references. Experim...
