On the Development of an Entity-Centric Timeline Extraction Tool

This paper reports on an ongoing development of a tool for extracting structured information on events a given target entity participated in from massive collections of textual documents and anchoring these events on a timescale. An overview of the current version of the tool and the underlying timeline extraction process is given. Some evaluation figures that reflect system output quality are provided too. The paper will be accompanied by a live demo of the timeline extraction tool.
