While there have been earlier approaches for automatic extensions of temporal taggers to further languages (Saquete et al., 2004;Negri et al., 2006;Spreyer and Frank, 2008), these were limited to a few languages and the results were considered less successful, in particular for the normalization subtask.
angeli and Uszkoreit (2013) presented an approach to language-independent parsing of temporal expressions, however, addressing only the normalization and not the extraction subtask.
