  abstract  = {This paper describes an approach to determine whether people participate in the
	events they tweet about. Specifically, we determine whether people are
	participants in events with respect to the tweet timestamp. We target all
	events expressed by verbs in tweets, including past, present and events that
	may occur in the future. We present new annotations using 1,096 event mentions,
	and experimental results showing that the task is challenging.},
