Research tackles omitted temporal expressions in Japanese news for retrieval systems
A new arXiv paper examines how news articles often reference dates incompletely, such as mentioning only a day or month, which requires knowledge of the publication date to interpret correctly. This becomes problematic when articles are indexed as standalone text in search and retrieval-augmented applications. The work, focused on Japanese news, proposes methods for reconstructing these omitted temporal expressions.
