Museum Application of the Historical Event Extraction Module Browsing exhibits of the Rijksmuseum through historical events eg. - photo’s related to the Bosnian War - art pieces referring to a president, general etc. - within a time periode - geographic area -> inferences about event parts -> relations between events ACL LaTeCH 2011
Development of the Historical Event Extraction Module • No annotated data available • Our approach - development set of (only!) 5 texts manually annotated with Historical Events • Event extraction based on patterns of structural and semantic properties ACL LaTeCH 2011
Comparison with an evaluation set tagged by two Independent annotators Evaluation Results • Actions extracted with 67.94% recall and 51.96% precision 6 ACL LaTeCH 2011
How did we manage to achieve such good resultsusing only a very limited set of annotated data? How did we do it ?? ACL LaTeCH 2011
