Temporal expression extraction system, including temporal expression recognition and normalization, for Indonesian language, written in Python.
###Requirements
- Python 2.7 or higher
- Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.7.x or higher
- TimeNorm for Indonesian language (.jar is provided in
lib/)
###Usage ! The input file(s) must be in the TimeML annotation format !
python python TimexExtraction.py dir_name [options] or
python python TimexExtraction.py file_name [options]
options: -o output_dir_name/file_name (default: dir_path/dir_name_Timex/ for directory and file_path/file_name_timex.tml for file)
The output file(s) will be a TimeML document annotated with temporal expressions (TIMEX3 tags).
#####To convert TimeML file(s) to HTML for better viewing
python python ConvertToHTML.py dir_name [options] or
python python ConvertToHTML.py file_name [options]
options: -o output_dir_name/file_name (default: dir_path/dir_name_HTML/ for directory and file_path/file_name.html for file)
###Modules IndoTimex contains two main modules:
- Timex recognition, a finite state transducer (FST) to recognize temporal expressions and their types (based on the TimeML standard, i.e. DATE, DURATION, TIME and SET). The complete FST can be seen in
lib/fst/timex.pdf(minimized and drawn with OpenFST). - Timex normalization, an extension of TimeNorm, a library for normalizing the values of temporal expressions (based on the ISO 8601 standard) using synchronous context free grammars, for Indonesian language. To run the timex normalizer:
java -jar ./lib/timenorm-id-0.9.2-jar-with-dependencies.jar ./lib/id.grammar.
