Ning Qiang, Ben Zhou, Zhili Feng, Haoruo Peng, Dan Roth · 2018
Automatic extraction of temporal information is important for natural language understanding.It involves two basic tasks: (1) Understanding time expressions that are mentioned explicitly in text (e.g., February 27, 1998 or tomorrow), and (2) Understanding temporal information that is conveyed implicitly via relations.This paper introduces CogCompTime, a system that has these two important functionalities.It incorporates the most recent progress, achieves state-of-the-art performance, and is publicly available.1 We believe that this demo will provide valuable insight for temporal understanding and be useful for multiple time-aware applications.
