Their impact will be to greatly simplify the work of any text planner that uses MUMBLE as ita linguistics component since MUMBLE can now take on many of the planner's text organization and decision-making problems with markedly less hand-tailoring of algorithms in either component.

It was created in the context of the SemEval 2007 workshop and uses the TimeML annotation language. The evaluation consists of three subtasks of temporal annotation: anchoring an event to a time expression in the same sentence, anchoring an event to the document creation time, and ordering main events in consecutive sentences. In this paper we describe the TempEval task and the systems that participated in the evaluation. In addition, we describe how further task decomposition can bring even more structure to the evaluation of temporal relations.

It avoids the pitfalls of evaluat-ing a graph of inter-related labels by defin-ing three sub tasks that allow pairwise eval-uation of temporal relations. The task not only allows ...

We describe the changes and enrichments made, while framing the effort in a more general methodology of semantic annotation. In particular, we assume a principled distinction between the annotation of an expression and the representation which that annotation denotes. This involves not only the specification of an annotation language for a particular phenomenon, but also the development of a meta- ...
