ABSTRACT
We present a semantic tagging system for temporal expressions and discuss how the temporal information conveyed by these expressions can be extracted. The performance of the system was evaluated wrt. a small hand-annotated corpus of news messages.

Extracting meaning from temporal nouns and temporal prepositions
Special Issue on Temporal Information ProcessingThis article provides a compositional semantics for temporal nouns and temporal prepositions that are annotated as temporal prepositional phrases or noun phrases by an automatic tagging system (e.g., last Monday, on Dec. 1st, for three weeks or before ...
Portuguese Temporal Expressions Recognition: From TE Characterization to an Effective TER Module Implementation
STIL '09: Proceedings of the 2009 Seventh Brazilian Symposium in Information and Human Language TechnologyTaking into account the temporal dimension conveyed in texts is a challenge to natural language processing. At the same time this task is of great importance for a wide range of natural language processing applications. The goal of this paper is ...
Regular expressions: enabling the development of computational aids for Zulu natural language processing
SAICSIT '02: Proceedings of the 2002 annual research conference of the South African institute of computer scientists and information technologists on Enablement through technologyThe computational treatment of morphologically complex languages, such as those belonging to the Bantu language family, requires as basic computational aids a machine-readable lexicon containing a list of all the word roots in the language as well as a ...
