Annotation des informations temporelles dans des textes en français.

The processing of temporal information is crucial for the understanding of na- tural language texts. The specification language TimeML was developed to facilitate the iden- tification and normalization of temporal expressions and events in texts written in English. The aim of the various TimeML projects was to formulate an annotation scheme able to be applied to free text, such as that which is found on the Web, for example. Recently, efforts have been made to apply TimeML to languages other than English, namely Chinese, Korean, Italian, Spa- nish and German. Some efforts have been made in this direction with respect to French, but they remain somewhat scattered. In this paper, we detail our ongoing work, which aims to es- tablish comprehensive resources for the annotation of French texts according to TimeML - an annotation guide, a Gold Standard corpus and modules for automatic annotation. Mots-cles : Annotation temporelle, reperage des evenements, TimeML.
