Historical Event Extraction from Text

چکیده
In this paper, we report on how historical events are extracted from text within the Semantics of History research project. The project aims at the creation of resources for a historical information retrieval system that can handle the time-based dynamics and varying perspectives of Dutch historical archives. The historical event extraction module will be used for museum collections, allowing users to search for exhibits related to particular historical events or actors within time periods and geographic areas, extracted from accompanying text. We present here the methodology and tools used for the purpose of historical event extraction alongside with the first evaluation results.

متن کاملIntegration of Static Relations to Enhance Event Extraction from Text
As research on biomedical text mining is shifting focus from simple binary relations to more expressive event representations, extraction performance drops due to the increase in complexity.
