Storylines for structuring massive streams of news
نویسندگان
چکیده
Stories are the most natural ways for people to deal with information about the changing world. They provide an efficient schematic structure to order and relate events according to some explanation. We describe (1) a formal model for representing storylines to handle streams of news and (2) a first implementation of a system that automatically extracts the ingredients of a storyline from news articles according to the model. Our model mimics the basic notions from narratology by adding bridging relations to timelines of events in relation to a climax point. We provide a method for defining the climax score of each event and the bridging relations between them. We generate a JSON structure for any set of news articles to represent the different stories they contain and visualize these stories on a timeline with climax and bridging relations. This visualization helps inspecting the validity of the generated structures.

Two contrasting paradigms for structuring news events and storylines are identified and described: the automated paradigm and the manual paradigm. A specific manual news structuring system is described, and the highlevel results of three reporting experiments conducted using the system are presented. In light of these results I then compare automated and manual approaches and argue that they ar...
متن کاملUnsupervised Storyline Extraction from News Articles
Storyline extraction from news streams aims to extract events under a certain news topic and reveal how those events evolve over time. It requires algorithms capable of accurately extracting events from news articles published in different time periods and linking these extracted events into coherent stories. The two tasks are often solved separately, which might suffer from the problem of erro...

Storyline detection from news articles aims at summarizing events described under a certain news topic and revealing how those events evolve over time. It is a difficult task because it requires first the detection of events from news articles published in different time periods and then the construction of storylines by linking events into coherent news stories. Moreover, each storyline has di...

The large amount of text data which are continuously produced over time in a variety of large scale applications such as social networks results in massive streams of data. Typically massive text streams are created by very large scale interactions of individuals, or by structured creations of particular kinds of content by dedicated organizations. An example in the latter category would be the...
متن کاملSummarizing Complex Events: a Cross-Modal Solution of Storylines Extraction and Reconstruction
The rapid development of Web2.0 leads to significant information redundancy. Especially for a complex news event, it is difficult to understand its general idea within a single coherent picture. A complex event often contains branches, intertwining narratives and side news which are all called storylines. In this paper, we propose a novel solution to tackle the challenging problem of storylines...
