Annotation of events and temporal expressions in French texts
André Bittar · 2009
We present two modules for the recognition and annotation of temporal expressions and events in French texts according to the TimeML specification language. The Temporal Expression Tagger we have developed is based on a large coverage cascade of finite state transducers and our Event Tagger on a set of simple heuristics applied over local context in a chunked text. We present results of a preliminary evaluation and compare them with those obtained by a similar system.
