This report describes an approach to solve the DaDoEval document dating subtasks for the EVALITA 2020 competition. The dating problem is tackled as a classification problem, where the significant length of the documents in the provided dataset is addressed by using sentence embeddings in a hierarchical architecture. Three different pre-trained models to generate sentence embeddings have been evaluated and compared: USE, LaBSE and SBERT. Other than sentence embeddings the classifier exploits a bag-of-entities representation of the document, generated using a pre-trained named entity recognizer. The final model is able to simultaneously produce the required date for each subtask.
