TempEval-3: Evaluating Events, Time Expressions, and Temporal Relations
It addresses the need for standardized benchmarks in temporal information processing for the NLP community, but is incremental as it extends prior TempEval events.
The paper introduces TempEval-3, a task for evaluating temporal information processing, building on previous versions with a three-part structure, larger dataset, and single overall scores.
We describe the TempEval-3 task which is currently in preparation for the SemEval-2013 evaluation exercise. The aim of TempEval is to advance research on temporal information processing. TempEval-3 follows on from previous TempEval events, incorporating: a three-part task structure covering event, temporal expression and temporal relation extraction; a larger dataset; and single overall task quality scores.
