Temporal information is crucial in electronic medical records and biomedical information
systems. Processing temporal information in medical narrative data is a very challenging …

Electronic Health Records (EHRs) have emerged as a cost-effective data source for
conducting medical research. The difficulty in using EHRs for research purposes, however …

A new domain-independent knowledge-based inference structure is presented, specific to
