Our hypothesis is that by including social, temporal, and spatial information in the event representation, we are enabling the analysis of historical world news from a social and geopolitical perspective.
This tool allows the user to view event evolution over long periods of time, the relationship between the geopolitical entities that participate in them, and emergent patterns; 2 We present a novel high-level representation of news events based on information extracted from social media.
This representation explicitly includes temporal information about the event and information about locations, in particular of geopolitical entities.
Geopolitical calculation?
