Abstract

With an advent of the Web, a tremendous amount of information is available online. Information can be organized and explored in the time dimension. This temporal information has to be distilled out, so as to extract the temporal entities such as temporal expressions and temporal relations out of it. Temporal information processing is an ongoing field of research that deals with natural language text, temporal relations, events or temporal queries. This paper presents a detailed analysis of the work carried out under temporal information retrieval (TIR) highlighting its subtasks like information extraction, indexing, ranking, query processing, clustering and classification. Also, it presents various challenges while dealing with temporal information. To the end, various application areas are elaborated such as temporal summarization, exploration and future event retrieval.
