Description:
This work re-examines the widely addressed problem of the recognition and interpretation of time expressions, and suggests an approach based on distributed representations and artificial neural networks. Artificial neural networks allow us to build highly generic models, but the large variety of hyperparameters makes it difficult to determine the best configuration. In this work we study the behavior of different models by varying the number of layers, sizes and normalization techniques. We also analyze the behavior of distributed representations in the temporal domain, where we find interesting properties regarding order and granularity. The experiments were conducted mainly for Spanish, although this does not affect the approach, given its generic nature. This work aims to be a starting point towards processing temporality in texts via word vectors and neural networks, without the need of any kind of feature engineering.
