SemEval 2016 Task 12 addresses temporal reasoning in the clinical domain. In this paper, we present our participation for relation extraction based on gold standard entities (subtasks DR and CR). We used a supervised approach comparing plain lexical features to word embeddings for temporal relation identification, and obtained above-median scores.
