"... the increase in consumption of HFCS has a temporal relation to the epidemic of obesity, and the overconsumption of HFCS in calorically sweetened beverages may play a role in the epidemic of obesity". The corn industry takes his comments out of context to support their position.
However, there are many same-head events that do not have a temporal relation.
(9 ) considered event event pairs only if the two elements involved in a pair are one sentence apart, ignoring event time pairs entirely since very few of them have a temporal relation.
We could similarly create one negative training instance from every coreferent event pair that does not have any temporal relation.
A temporal relation is defined on an 'ordered' pair: in (2), the pair (complained, fever) has type Overlap_After, whereas the pair (fever, complained) has type Before_Overlap.
Statistically speaking, if (i) two events are in two clauses connected by the coordinating conjunction but, (ii) one is an antonym of the other and (iii) there is a temporal relation between them, then not only can we infer that they do not have any temporal overlap, but also it is likely that they have an asynchronous relation such as Before or After.
The parser determines that a ASYNCHRONOUS explicit relation triggered by thereafter exists between the two sentences, which in turn suggests that the two events are likely to have an asynchronous temporal relation such as Before or After.
We propose a new temporal data mining technique that can extract temporal interval relation rules from temporal interval data by using Allen's theory: a preprocessing algorithm designed for the generalization of temporal interval data and a temporal relation algorithm for mining temporal relation rules from the generalized temporal interval data.
We then use the relation 'classification' system described in the Our hybrid approach section to classify only those instances the relation identification system determined possessed a temporal relation.
