Hey Dima,

Yes, that is one solution! Perhaps that's just the best way to go.

I'm seeing right now that the annotator is missing some relations that I would 
expect it to catch (unless I'm misunderstanding something, which is possible). 
For example:

He reports sinusitis and rhinitis for 4 years, which started when he moved to 
*city* 4 years ago.
-> misses sinusitis for 4 years, rhinitis for 4 years
-> catches *city* 4 years ago

Would you expect those sort of expressions to be captured by the temporal 
module?

Thanks,
Erin

Hi Erin,

Is it an option to use all events and then just post-process the output of 
temporal relation extraction to include the events you are interested in? The 
temporal module may break if you exclude some events.
