Temporal Processing of News: Annotation of Temporal Expressions, Verbal Events and Temporal Relations
The ability to capture the temporal dimension of a natural language text is essential to many natural language processing applications, such as Question Answering, Automatic Summarisation, and Information Retrieval. Temporal processing is a ¯eld of Computational Linguistics which aims to access …

A visualized framework for representing uncertain and incomplete temporal knowledge
… and reasoning about incomplete and uncertain temporal information. It is both expressive and versatile, allowing logical conjunctions and disjunctions of both absolute and relative temporal relations, such as “Before”, “Meets”, “Overlaps”, “Starts”, “During”, and “Finishes”, etc. In terms of a …

Doing time : inducing temporal graphs
… a directed acyclic graph that encodes temporal relations found in a text. The unit of our analysis is a temporal segment, a fragment of text that maintains temporal coherence. The strength of our approach lies in its ability to simultaneously optimize pairwise ordering preferences and …

Understanding time in natural language text
… specifically addresses three key aspects of the temporal reasoning problem: time expression understanding, temporal relation extraction, and temporal common sense acquisition. Time expressions (e.g., yesterday or last month) often provide absolute time anchors for events. Temporal relations …

Temporal Reasoning in Clinical Narratives: From Information Extraction to Early Disease Detection
… This thesis presents a unified framework for temporally grounded patient modeling that integrates structured event representations, fine-grained temporal reasoning, and scalable predictive architectures. Initial experiments show that concept-based models paired with visit-level temporal …

Understanding Narratives through Sentiment, Emotions and Events
… of a narrative, it is necessary to consider the temporal relations among events. For this, we investigate the performance of large language models in recognising temporal relations among events and compare it with encoder-only models.

Temporal Information Extraction and Knowledge Base Population
<p>Temporal Information Extraction (TIE) from text plays an important role in many Natural Language Processing and Database applications. Many features of the world are time-dependent, and rich temporal knowledge is required for a more complete and precise understanding of the world. In this thesis …

Representing and analyzing temporal complexity in children's story books
In this thesis, the temporal complexity in children's stories is analyzed to better understand the development of children's perception of time. The temporal complexity increases both in greater deviations from a chronological presentation of events, as well as an increase in the different kinds of …

Intra- and inter-personal predictors of posttraumatic stress disorder and sexual risk-taking behaviors
… however, future research is needed to determine temporal relations between these variables.</p>

Kant's Ontology: Reality and the Formal Structure of the First Person Perspective
… as a body capable of standing in spatio-temporal relations to objects and as capable of action (movement). An a priori metaphysics of nature is possible on this basis. Kant's idealism holds that individuation of material objects is relative to what I call a transcendental metric or a …

Using genetic programming to learn predictive models from spatio-temporal data
… predictive models from nondeterministic spatio-temporal data. The prediction models are represented as a production system, which requires two parts: a set of production rules, and a conflict resolver. The production rules model different, typically independent, aspects of the spatio-temporal …

Multiple Streams Synchronization in Collaborative Multimedia Systems
… To achieve this, the sender has to provide the temporal relations between the streams as they are captured. Since the receiver uses this information in streams presentation, its accuracy is very important.</p> <p>Our main contribution is to provide a suit of synchronization algorithms for audio, …

Choreographing relations: practical philosophy and contemporary choreography
… the Dé-lire explores the choreography of temporal relations. Showing how these singular assemblages and their implicit methods critically redistribute the sensible of choreography at the turn of the twenty-first century, the four concepts of my thesis form the argument in itself. This …

Collaborative Path Planning and Control for Ground Agents Via Photography Collected by Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
… by the UAV. A deep homography model incorporates temporal relations across video frames to stitch cost maps together. A weighted version of a navigation algorithm is presented to plan a path through the environment. The synthesis of these modules leads to a novel framework wherein a UAV may guide …

Modeling temporal perception
… world abounding with events that exhibit dynamic temporal structure; birds flying, children laughing, rain dripping from an eave, melodies unfolding, etc. Seeing objects in motion, hearing and communicating with sound, and feeling oneself move are such common everyday experiences that one is …

Advances in Representation and Learning of Temporal Event Sequences
… on representation and learning of two types of temporal event sequences. The first type is a sequence of interval-based events, called an e-sequence, where every event can have a duration, and the second type is a sequence of pointbased events, where events have no durations. For interval-based …

Depositional history and diagenesis of the upper Mission Canyon and lower Charles Formations (Mississippian), Billings County, North Dakota
… processes with complex spatial distributions and temporal relations. Eogenetic diagenesis included micritization, cementation, replacement, dissolution, mechanical compaction, and fracturing. Near-surface diagenetic zones included: sublittoral stagnant and agitated, isolated meteoric/marine water …

Structured polyphonic patterns
… which encode properties of musical events, or relations that they form with other events. Relations between events that overlap in time but are not simultaneous are supported, enabling patterns to express key temporal relations of polyphonic music. Patterns are formed by joining and layering …
