On the use of semantic knowledge bases for temporally-aware entity retrieval

In this paper, we propose the development of entity retrieval models that are temporally-aware. Using a classification scheme of entity-oriented information needs proposed in prior work, we discuss how the addition of temporal expressions would affect retrieval results for each of these query types. We describe the design of a retrieval framework that is capable of catering for a range of these information needs and identify main challenges at the component level.
