Discovering Temporal Relations with TICTAC
نویسنده
چکیده
Temporal information plays an important role in many NLP applications. The identification of temporal relations between temporal entities (events and temporal expressions) is indispensable in obtaining the temporal interpretation of a given text. This paper presents our approach for discovering temporal relations using the temporal annotation system we have developed. This system is called TICTAC (Syntactico-Semantic Temporal Annotation Cluster) and it comprises both knowledge based and statistical techniques. It has achieved the best performance among all systems participating at the TempEval competition organised as part of SemEval-2007, competition that evaluated temporal relation identification capabilities.

This paper reports on the participation of University of Wolverhampton and University of Alicante at the SemEval-2007 TempEval evaluation exercise. TempEval consisted of three tasks involving the identification of event-time and event-event temporal relations. We participated in all three tasks with TICTAC (SyntacticoSemantic Temporal Annotation Cluster), a system comprising both knowledge base...
متن کاملDiscovering Temporal Knowledge from a Crisscross of Timed Observations
This paper is concerned with the discovering of temporal knowledge from a sequence of timed observations provided by a system monitoring of dynamic process. The discovering process is based on the Stochastic Approach framework where a series of timed observations is represented with a Markov chain. From this representation, a set of timed sequential binary relations between discrete event class...

متن کاملTimeSleuth: A Tool for Discovering Causal and Temporal Rules
Discovering causal and temporal relations in a system is essential to understanding how it works, and to learning to control the behaviour of the system. TimeSleuth is a causality miner that uses association relations as the basis for the discovery of causal and temporal relations. It does so by introducing time into the observed data. TimeSleuth uses C4.5 as its association discoverer, and by ...
