                "text": "Temporal expressions are words or phrases that refer to dates, times or durations. Resolving time expressions is an important task in information extraction (IE) that enables downstream applications such as calendars or timelines of events (Derczynski and Gaizauskas, 2013; Do et al., 2012; Ritter et al., 2012; Ling and Weld, 2010) , knowledge base population (Ji et al., 2011) , information retrieval (Alonso et al., 2007) , automatically scheduling meetings from email and more. Previous work in this area has applied rule-based systems (Mani and Wilson, 2000; Bethard, 2013b; Chambers, 2013) or supervised machine learning on small collections of hand-annotated news documents (Angeli et al., 2012; Lee et al., 2014 ). 1 Our code and data are publicly available at https:// github.com/jeniyat/TweeTime. Social media especially contains time-sensitive information and requires accurate temporal analysis, for example, for detecting real-time cybersecurity events (Ritter et al., 2015; Chang et al., 2016) , disease outbreaks (Kanhabua et al., 2012) and extracting personal information (Schwartz et al., 2015) . However, most work on social media simply uses generic temporal resolvers and therefore suffers from suboptimal performance. Recent work on temporal resolution focuses primarily on news articles and clinical texts (UzZaman et al., 2013; Bethard and Savova, 2016) .",

They used an EM-style bootstrapping approach and a CKY parser. Distant Supervision has recently become popular in natural language processing.

We presented a method for learning a wordlevel temporal tagging models from tweets that are heuristically labeled with only sentence-level labels. This approach was further extended to account for the case of missing tags, or temporal properties that are not explicitly mentioned in the text of a tweet. These temporal tags were then combined with a variety of other features in a novel date-resolver that predicts normalized dates referenced in a Tweet. By learning from large quantities of in-domain data, we were able to achieve 0.68 F1 score on the end-to-end time normalization task for social media data, significantly outperforming SUTime, TempEx, Heidel-Time and UWTime on this challenging dataset for time normalization.",
