2012 19th International Symposium on Temporal Representation and Reasoning
2012
Abstract—In corpus linguistics obtaining high-quality semantically-annotated corpora is a fundamental goal. Various annotations of the same text can be obtained from automated systems,humanannotators,oracombinationofboth.Obtaining, by manual means, a merged annotation from these, which improves the correctness of each individual annotation, is costly.Wepresentautomaticalgorithmsspecificallyformerging temporal annotations. These have been evaluated merging the annotations of three state-of-the-art systems on the gold standardcorporaandthecorrectnessofthemergedannotation improved over that of individual annotations and baseline mergingalgorithms.
