An Annotated Corpus of Typical Durations of Events

Feng Pan, Rutu Mulkar, Jerry R. Hobbs


Abstract
In this paper, we present our work on generating an annotated corpus for extracting information about the typical durations of events from texts. We include the annotation guidelines, the event classes we categorized, the way we use normal distributions to model vague and implicit temporal information, and how we evaluate inter-annotator agreement. The experimental results show that our guidelines are effective in improving the inter-annotator agreement.
