Task: Question Answering
Input (English): Other Timex3 mentions are more ambiguous so we use a distant supervision approach. Phrases like “currently" and “today's" tend to occur near Events that overlap the current document creation time, while “ago" or “ INLINEFORM0 -years" indicate past events. These dominant temporal associations can be learned from training data and then used to label Timex3s. Finally, we define a logistic regression rule to predict entity DocRelTime values as well as specify a linear skip-chain factor over Event mentions and their nearest Timex3 neighbor, encoding the baseline system heuristic directly as an inference rule. 
 Question: How do they obtain distant supervision rules for predicting relations?
Output (English): dominant temporal associations can be learned from training data
