In order to produce comparative results with the best-performing system at TempEval-3, namely UTTime (Laokulrat et al., 2013) for the above task, we follow the guidelines and use the same datasets provided by the organizers (UzZaman et al., 2013).
we restrict our experiment to a subset of relations, namely BEFORE (past), AF-TER (future), and INCLUDES (present), with all other relations mapped to the NA−RELATION for the following two subtasks: event to document creation time and event to same sentence event.
