This paper adopts a more systematic perspective and directly assesses the impact of different relation sets (and their underlying algebras) in terms of learning and inferential properties.
we compare three interval-based algebras for building classification-based systems, namely: Allen (1983)'s 13 relation algebra, Bruce (1972)'s 7 relations algebra, and the algebra underlying Tempeval-07 3 relations (henceforth, TempEval algebra).
