Identification and Characterization of Newsworthy Verbs in World News

چکیده
We present a data-driven technique for acquiring domain-level importance of verbs from the analysis of abstract/article pairs of world news articles. We show that existing lexical resources capture some the semantic characteristics for important words in the domain. We develop a novel characterization of the association between verbs and personal story narratives, which is descriptive of verbs avoided in summaries for this domain.

متن کاملA Perspective on Earthquake-Volcano Interactions
Introduction On average, some 120 strong earthquakes (M ≥ 6) and 60 volcanic eruptions occur somewhere in the world every year.
