While we can determine the relationship between A and C in the figure with the use of temporal transitivity rules (Setzer et al., 2003;Verhagen, 2005), we cannot reliably determine the relationship between say A and D. In this work, we seek to overcome this limitation, and study what can enable effective article-wide E-E temporal classification.
we want to be able to determine the temporal relationship between two events located anywhere within an article.
