  21. Ranking Related News Predictions Task Definition System Architecture System Architecture Step 1: Document annotation. ◮ Extract temporal expressions using time and event recognition. ◮ Normalize them to dates so they can be anchored on a timeline. ◮ Output: sentences annotated with named entities and dates, i.e., predictions .

  22. Ranking Related News Predictions Task Definition System Architecture System Architecture Step 2: Retrieving predictions. ◮ Automatically generate a query from a news article being read . ◮ Retrieve predictions that match the query. ◮ Rank predictions by relevance. A prediction is “relevant” if it is about the topics of the article.
