The system consists of a ready-to-use modular set of advanced multilingual Natural Language Processing (NLP) tools. The pipeline integrates modules for basic NLP processing as well as more advanced tasks such as cross-lingual Named Entity Linking, Semantic Role Labeling and time normalization. Thus, our cross-lingual framework allows for the interoperable semantic interpretation of events, participants, locations and time, as well as the relations between them.application/pdfengThe LREC 2016 Proceedings are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International Licenseinfo:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObjectMultilingual event detectionInteroperable semantic processingNLP pipelinesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
