Identification of top relevant temporal expressions in documents
Jannik Strötgen, Omar Alonso, Michael Gertz · 2012
Temporal information is very common in textual documents, and thus, identifying, normalizing, and organizing temporal expressions is an important task in IR. Although there are some tools for temporal tagging, there is a lack in research focusing on the relevance of temporal expressions. Besides counting their frequency and verifying whether they satisfy a temporal search query, temporal expressions are often considered in isolation only. There are no methods to calculate the relevance of temporal expressions, neither in general nor with respect to a query.
