tieval

A framework for evaluation and development of temporally aware models.

Installation

The package is available on PyPI:

pip install tieval

It requires Python 3.8 or above.

Usage

To understand its usability refer to the notebooks available here.

Data

Throughout the last two decades many datasets have been developed to train this task. tieval provides an easy interface to download the available corpus.

To know more about the module run the following code on the terminal.

python -m tieval download --help

How to ...

In this section, we summarize how to perform the most useful operations in tieval.

download a dataset.

from pathlib import Path
from tieval import datasets

data_path = Path("data/")
datasets.download("TimeBank", data_path)

load a dataset.

from tieval import datasets

te3 = datasets.read("tempeval_3")

load a model.

from tieval import models

model = models.TimexIdentificationBaseline()

make predictions.

pred = model.predict(te3.test)

evaluate predictions.

from tieval import evaluate

annot = {doc.name: doc.timexs for doc in te3.test}
results = evaluate.timex_identification(annot, pred)
