# Professor HeidelTime

[Paper](https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3583780.3615130)    [GitHub](https://github.com/hmosousa/professor_heideltime)

Professor HeidelTime is a project to create a multilingual corpus weakly labeled with [HeidelTime](https://github.com/HeidelTime/heideltime), a temporal tagger.

## Corpus Details

The weak labeling was performed in six languages. Here are the specifics of the corpus for each language:

| Dataset                 | Language | Documents | From       | To         | Tokens     | Timexs    |
