These collections constitute an increasingly important source for\nresearchers in the social sciences, the historical sciences and journalists\ninterested in studying past events. However, there are currently no access\nmethods that help users to efficiently access information, in particular about\nspecific events, beyond the retrieval of individual disconnected documents.\nTherefore we propose a novel method to extract event-centric document\ncollections from large scale Web archives. This method relies on a specialized\nfocused extraction algorithm. Our experiments on the German Web archive\n(covering a time period of 19 years) demonstrate that our method enables the\nextraction of event-centric collections for different event types.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1707.09217v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1707.09217v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"extracting-event-centric-document-collections","repo_url":"https://github.com/gerhardgossen/archive-recrawling","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"retrieval","task_name":"Retrieval"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
