"text": "Temporal information retrieval is a rapidly growing branch of natural language processing and information extraction, due to numerous applications such as question answering and summarization systems. The detection of events, states, temporal expressions and their relations provides a rich source of temporal information, and acts as the representation of real world information in text. This has two-fold implications, first, that the representation mechanism depends on the syntactic and semantic properties of the language, and second, that in order to create systems that use this information, large amounts of annotated data are a prerequisite. An attempt towards solving the issue of disparate representations was made by ISO-TimeML (Pustejovsky et al., 2010) , by developing an international standard based on the earlier, highly popular event annotation framework known as TimeML (Pustejovsky et al., 2003a) . ISO-TimeML is an inter-operable semantic framework for linguistic annotation of temporal expressions such as events (e.g. occurrences and happenings) and time expressions (e.g. mentions of days, dates and times). The international standard had been created such that the annotation framework could be applied across languages extensively. The issue of training data for large systems was solved by creating large annotated corpora based on the prevalent annotation mechanism, known as TimeBanks. After the English TimeBank (Pustejovsky et al., 2003b) , TimeBanks have been developed for various languages, elaborated upon in section 2.. Recently, Hindi has been added to the list of languages with literature working towards the annotation of events and temporal expressions. Temporal expression identification in Hindi and their basic classification has been done as a part of the FIRE 2011 corpus 1 , but a more focused approach has also been adopted (Ramrakhiyani and Majumder, 2013; Ramrakhiyani and Majumder, 2015) . For event detection and recognition, the framework and basic guidelines for a binary recognition of event nugget has been established by Goud et al. (2019) , which also differentiates between events and states and makes a case for the complexity of recognition of events in a semantico-syntactic grammatical framework of Hindi. We continue to follow this distinction, as mentioned in section 3.. Event analysis as a temporal phenomena is a question not only in NLP but also in linguistic philosophy, which is deeply rooted in the manner languages express events. ISO-TimeML event schema is an improvement over the TimeML event analysis framework to make it more general for all languages. TimeML's definition of an event seems to be derived from the Davidson's notion of eventualities (Davidson, 1967) , which provided a definition of events as \"spatio-temporal phenomena with functionally integrated participants\". Therefore, extensionally, TimeML events (Pustejovsky et al., 2007) are based on a neo-Davidsonian analysis of eventualities, and are detected based entirely on properties. In this paper, we extend both the idea and the initial seed dataset from binary event classification in Hindi (Goud et al., 2019) and include the annotation of states (which was deliberately eliminated earlier), the classification of both events and states, as well as inclusion of time expressions in an augmented dataset of 1,000 Hindi articles. We provide a comprehensive set of guidelines for the identification and differentiation of events from states. The classification scheme for events and states in Hindi has been augmented from TimeML for consistency. Further, changes have been implemented in later stages of the annotation cycle. These are both language specific changes and changes to the ISO-TimeML schema that can be applied to other languages as well. Lastly, the robustness of the annotation guidelines is evaluated by inter-annotator scores, as well as other statistics about the dataset. To summarize, this paper contributes a corpus of 1,000 articles with 25,829 events and 3,516 states for the purpose of temporal information retrieval in Hindi, the Hindi Time-Bank. This resource has been annotated on a modified ISO-TimeML schema and guidelines, which have been elucidated below. We provide a comprehensive analysis of the data, the schema, the guidelines and the annotation mechanism, which can be used for event and temporal expression annotation of multiple other languages.",

"text": "TimeBanks have been introduced for multiple languages after English. These TimeBanks were developed after fundamental additions and modifications to ISO-TimeML guidelines for language specific syntactic properties. In the French TimeBank (Bittar et al., 2011) , the authors propose that those verbs be tagged as modal since modality is expressed by fully inflected verbs. Furthermore, the authors also provide a way of capturing the difference between support verb constructions with a neutral aspectual value (mener une attaque (carry out an attack)) and those with an inchoative aspectual value. The Italian TimeBank (Caselli et al., 2011) focuses on the EVENT and TIMEX3 tag and modifies their properties to suit Italian. The main difference with regards to the EVENT tag is in the tag attribute list and attribute values. The TIMEX tag used in the Ita-TimeBank is as much as possible compliant with the TIDES TIMEX2 2 annotation. In the Romanian (Forascu and Tufis , , 2012) and Spanish (Saur\u0131 and Badia, 2012) TimeBanks, the authors opted to indicated whether an EVENT is a state (with the 'class' attribute having the value 'STATE'), instead of using the attribute 'type' to indicate if the EVENT is a state, a process or a transition. The Portuguese TimeBank (Costa and Branco, 2012) uses the same guidelines as the English TimeBank, and use a combination of the Portuguese OpenWordNet and temopral-aware systems. Finally, in the Persian TimeBank (Yaghoobzadeh et al., 2012) , gerund phrases, known as \"esm-e masdar\", must always be annotated as events, even when they represent generic events. Furthermore, the authors also consider objective deverbal adjectives in PersTimeML. Syntactically, Persian TimeBank differs from ISO-TimeML in the way that all the tokens part of an event are marked under the same event ID irrespective of whether they are consecutive or not.",

"text": "TimeML defined events as situations that occur, hold or take place, or as states or circumstances in which something obtains or holds true (Saur\u00ed et al., 2006) . In annotation of Hindi events by this definition, annotators portrayed low confidence, given that event normalization, subordinating verbs and \"generics\" were not to be marked. Therefore, states have been defined with respect to these distinctions in order to be easier to annotate. A state may be defined as a verbal predicate which provides a spatiotemporal description participating entities, including a description of properties, location or existence. Such a definition accounts for verbal modifiers and copular constructions. Note that subjunctives are not considered states under this definition and neither are they considered events, due to the fact that the participating entities do not undergo any change (Goud et al., 2019) . Therefore, subjunctive phrases are not annotated as either events or states. Furthermore, given an extensional understanding of events based on the change in the properties of entities, certain reporting verbs with sentential predicates are not considered events if they do not contain a participating entity. Hindi allows subject ellipsis constructions, therefore those verbs do not contain any entities, and are therefore not annotated. For example:",

The modifications are twofold, one which are language independent or cross lingual, and can be applied for creating new TimeBanks in other languages as well as extending the Hindi TimeBank, and the second which are particular to Hindi due to the semantico-syntactic nature of its grammar. Pustejovsky et al. (2008) introduces the <CONFIDENCE> tag in order to provide the notion of a confidence metric to each attribute of each tag. The confidence tag used was in the range of 0 to 1 and was used to determine the annotator's confidence in every attribute annotation. However, this notion was found to be too granular. Given the attributes we annotate in the Hindi TimeBank, considering annotator confidence as an attribute rather than a standoff tag seemed more appropriate. In our system, the annotator confidence metric is a ternary annotation parameter with values HIGH, MEDIUM and LOW, and is meant to signify how confident an annotator is about an annotation. Thus, we found that the annotator confidence metric is a very useful parameter in determining the clarity of definitions to annotators specifically in event and time expression classification. The annotator confidence parameter helps in justifying the changes over iterations of guideline development, and also serve to point of ambiguous constructions which rely heavily on context, and/or represented a facet of the grammar that can not be captured by the current guidelines, and may pose a problem for further processes done using this data. One significant point based on which annotator confidence proved pertinent is the removal of subjunctives from event representation.",

"text": "Identification of States TimeML presents events \"as a cover term for situations that happen, occur, hold, or take place as well as those predicates describing states or circumstances in which something obtains or holds true\" (Pustejovsky et al., 2003a) . However, Goud et al. (2019) mentions the difficulties in direct annotation of events and states from a linguistic philosophy perspective as well as from an annotation guidelines standpoint. As mentioned in Section 1., TimeML's definition of events seems similar to the syntactically motivated new-Davidsonian definition of an event. However, our analysis of events and states is based on Bach's definition of events, states and processes (Bach, 1986) , which is similar to Panini's event semantic representation. We present the need for a separate notion of state by showing the following example from Goud et al. (2019) Due to a shortage of gas masks in Israel, they began to suffer.",

"text": "While these sentences are semantically equivalent, the syntactic representation of the subordinate verb clause is very different, as the presence of the verbal auxiliary hone explicitly marks a notion of a telic and adurative situation. According to TimeML, generics and verbal clauses with generic arguments are not to be annotated as events. However, the auxiliary hone is used with generics to construct semantically equivalent sentences. Therefore, according to TimeML annotation guidelines, annotators would not mark kamI as an event, but would mark kamI hone, even though they have been used in the same way in the sentence. In order to resolve this discrepancy, we turn to the Paninian grammatical framework. The presence of auxiliaries in the verbal predicate are used to denote emphasis, tense and aspect information (Palmer et al., 2009) . From the perspective of event and state representation, the auxiliaries are representative of the telic and durative properties of the predicate, which makes both their representation as well as participation of entities different depending on the type of verbal auxiliary used.

Therefore, for the example above, we uniformly mark both kamI and kamI hone as descriptive states which have been described in the annotation guidelines (Section 3.3.). We found that on introducing and defining states, annotator confidence regarding verbal modifiers as well as clauses with ambiguous constructions rose significantly, as it made the guidelines more naturally aligned to the annotator's understanding of the language.

Instead, the STATE and I-STATE event categories have been removed. We have seen that our analysis of states are different from the TimeML representation of states. TimeML defines I-STATE as states that refer to alternate or possible worlds. Hindi only presents these constructions as subjunctives, which explicitly do not include a participant. Therefore, by definition, I-STATE are not annotated as states, but are identified as OCC events. We introduce a classification schema for states, which are DESC and DECL, the description of which are given in Section 3. For example:",

"text": "Modifications to TIMEX3 TIMEX3 in Hindi has been studied (Ramrakhiyani and Majumder, 2013; Ramrakhiyani and Majumder, 2015) in order to analyze, identify and classify time expressions in Hindi. The procedure for annotating and extracting time expressions manually has been detailed in section 3.. We deviate in the annotation of fragmented time expressions by taking only those tokens which give us a local time expression and grouping them under a single TIMEX id. Relative time expressions such as c\u0101ra s\u0101la (four years) can only be annotated as a TIMEX only if the duration can be estimated. We also account for dependency and semantic role information when annotating time expressions, which is not considered in TIMEX3. Goud et al. (2019) proposed an event tagged dataset comprising of 810 news articles, which were primarily from the financial and crime domain, annotated only by the presence of events. We discarded all the articles which had less than 100 tokens, since these files did not contribute to the information base. We chose a group of 8 annotators for the task of annotation as well as evaluation of the bootstrapped dataset. The annotators are native Hindi speakers, educated in both English and Hindi. All annotations were carried out using the BRAT Annotation Framework (Stenetorp et al., 2012) . Figure 1 shows the annotation procedure in detail. There are multiple rounds of annotation in each stage of the pipeline.",

Thus, 200 articles were added to the seed dataset, out of which 150 were news articles and the remaining 50 were short fiction stories. We collected these news articles from Navbharat Times 3 , a national Hindi daily newspaper with over 2 million copies circulated nationwide. The distribution of these scraped articles can be found in Table 2 . The short stories are by Premchand, who is a renowned Hindi author 4 . The addition of these articles will allow the models trained on the Hindi TimeBank to be more reliable in detecting events, states, and temporal expressions in Hindi text. For these 200 articles, they were first tokenized using a freely available tokenizer (Reddy and Sharoff, 2011) 5 and then the identification of both events and states were done by 4 annotators in batches of 50 articles over 4 rounds.
