fkunneman / bag-of-events_reasoning

This repository is the RU-VU place to drop data in the form of bags-of-events and share code to reason over these events and find common patterns. A bag-of-events can be described as a sequence of events that relate to one unifying event. For example: all campaign events and debates that relate to specific elections. Reasoning over such instances can result in knowledge about subsumption and temporal relations between events.

This repository is the RU-VU place to drop data in the form of bags-of-events and share code to reason over these events and find common patterns. A bag-of-events can be described as a sequence of events that relate to one unifying event. For example: all campaign events and debates that relate to specific elections. Reasoning over such instances can result in knowledge about subsumption and temporal relations between events. Bags-of-events might be automatically extracted from reports in the news media as well as social media.
