# TimeEntities

The Eduction entities to use to extract time and date information from questions for time normalization. If you also set EductionTimeGrammars, `TimeEntities` specifies the entities in the specified grammar files.

By default, Answer Server uses all the entities that you have included in your Answer Server installation. To improve performance, you can use this parameter to use only specified entities. This option reduces the number of entities that Eduction attempts to match.
