Temporal Expression Extraction (TIMEX)

Temporal expression extraction is a natural-language-processing task that detects dates, times, durations, and frequencies in text and normalises them to the TimeML/TIMEX3 standard. Building on the TempEval shared task introduced by Verhagen et al. (2007), it turns time references scattered through free text into structured, machine-readable values that support event timelines and chronological analysis.
