Temporal Information Retrieval

Temporal Information Retrieval (TIR) is a process that helps search engines find information relevant not only to what you're looking for but also to when it happened. For example, if you search for news about a specific event, TIR can prioritize articles from a certain time period. It considers timing aspects like dates and sequences to improve the accuracy and relevance of search results. This is especially useful for retrieving information about recent events or understanding how topics evolve over time. Overall, TIR makes your searches more context-aware by integrating the element of time.
