A distantly supervised method for extracting spatio-temporal information from text
Seyed Iman Mirrezaei, Bruno Martins, Isabel F. Cruz · 2016
This paper describes Triplex-ST, a novel information extraction system for collecting spatio-temporal information from textual resources. Triplex-ST is based on a distantly supervised approach, which leverages rich linguistic annotations together with information in existing knowledge bases. In particular, we leverage triples associated with temporal and/or spatial contexts, e.g., as available from the YAGO knowledge base, so as to infer templates that capture new facts from previously unseen sentences.
