Temporal Information Processing is a subfield of Natural Language Processing, valuable in many tasks like Question Answering and Summarization. Temporal Information Processing is broadened, ranging from classical theories of time and language to current computational approaches for Temporal Information Extraction. This later trend consists on the automatic extraction of events and temporal expressions. Such issues have attracted great attention especially with the development of annotated corpora and annotations schemes mainly TimeBank and TimeML. In this paper, we give a survey of Temporal Information Extraction from Natural Language texts.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
