Abstract:
Each news article and column can be part of a manually created news story or chain by journalists and columnists. However, increasing amounts of data published by news companies each year makes manual analysis thus creation of news stories and chains almost impossible. When the amount of data is considered, it is obvious that automated systems’ support is vital to journalists, columnists and intelligence analysts. A news chain is a set of news articles that form a connected and coherent whole. In the traditional “connecting the dots” approach, news chains are constructed based on given two articles as start and end news of the chain. In this study, a method is proposed to create coherent news chains without the predetermination of start and end articles of the chain. Intuition of the method comes from the partial order relation among news articles. We try to show that lattice structure can represent relation or hierarchy among news articles that have a partial order in nature. Creating concept lattice is prepared out of the inverted index structure of news articles which is one of the main contributions of the study. In the experimental work, an artificial dataset is processed to show the steps of the method. After that, we also provide the evaluation using real dataset results.
