Abstract

Temporal information analysis is very important for Chinese Information Process. Comparing with English, Chinese is quite different in temporal information expression. Based on the feature of Chinese a phase-based method is proposed to deal with Chinese temporal information. To this end, an algorithm is put forward to classify verbs into different situation types automatically. About 2981 verbs were tested. The result has shown that the algorithm is effective.
