Neural Temporal Relation Extraction

EACL 2017 · Dmitriy Dligach, Timothy Miller, Chen Lin, Steven Bethard, Guergana Savova ·

We experiment with neural architectures for temporal relation extraction and establish a new state-of-the-art for several scenarios. We find that neural models with only tokens as input outperform state-of-the-art hand-engineered feature-based models, that convolutional neural networks outperform LSTM models, and that encoding relation arguments with XML tags outperforms a traditional position-based encoding.
