Estimation of the Representative Story Transition in a Chronological Semantic Structure of News Topics

Published: 01 April 2014 Publication History

Abstract

It is important to track the flow of topics to thoroughly understand the contents. Accordingly, a method that structures the chronological semantic relations between news stories, namely a "topic thread structure" has been proposed. It allows the comprehensive understanding of a topic by chronologically tracking stories one by one from the initial story. However, this task imposes a user to watch many stories when it contains various sub-topics. Thus, we propose a method that estimates the representative story transition in a topic thread structure. In the proposed method, features obtained from a story and those from the topic thread structure are used for the estimation. We confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed method by comparing the results obtained from the proposed method to the ground truth obtained from votes in a subjective experiment.
