    Résumé-Abstract Cet article traite de l'annotation automatique d'informations temporelles dans des textes et vise plus particulièrement les relations entre événements introduits par les verbes dans chaque clause. Si ce problème a mobilisé beaucoup de chercheurs sur le plan théorique, il reste en friche pour ce qui est de l'annotation automatique systématique (et son évaluation), même s' il existe des débuts de méthodologie pour faire réaliser la tâche par des humains. Nous proposons ici à la fois une méthode pour réaliser la tâche ...

    Recent years have seen increasing attention in temporal processing of texts as well as a lot of standardization effort of temporal information in natural language. A central part of this information lies in the temporal relations between events described in a text, when their precise times or dates are not known. Reliable human annotation of such information is difficult, and automatic comparisons must follow procedures beyond mere precision-recall of local pieces of information, since a coherent picture can only be considered at a global ...

    ABSTRACT In this article, we present a novel graph-based approach for pseudo-relevance feedback. We model term co-occurences in a fixed window or at the document level as a graph and apply a random walk algorithm to select expansion terms. Evaluation of the proposed approach on several standard TREC and CLEF collections including the recent TREC-Microblog dataset show that the proposed approach is competitive with state-of-the-art pseudo-relevance feedback models.

    ABSTRACT We present an approach for detecting salient (important) dates in texts in order to automatically build event timelines from a search query (e.g. the name of an event or person, etc.). This work was carried out on a corpus of newswire texts in English provided by the Agence France Presse (AFP). In order to extract salient dates that warrant inclusion in an event timeline, we first recognize and normalize temporal expressions in texts and then use a machine-learning approach to extract salient dates that relate to a particular topic. For the time being, we have focused only on extracting the d ates and not the events to which they are related.

    The panel will take as its starting point the central stated goal of computational linguistics:" to create a machine that can meaningfully communicate with people (subsuming the capabilities for translation, question answering, information extraction, text summarization and reasoning)", and it will aim at identifying the grand challenges that we see ahead of us that would-advance our knowledge and capabilities-provide the world with better communication facilities-unite the players in the field.
