Named entity recognition techniques can be used to create\na temporal actor network from such conversations, which shows some unique\nstructure, and reveals much room for improvement in news reporting and also the\ntop actors' conversation preferences. Our results indicate there is a presence\nof cliquishness between powerful political leaders when it comes to their\nappearance in news. We also show how these cohesive cores form through the news\narticles, and how, over a decade, news cycles change the actors belonging in\nthese groups.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1812.03632v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1812.03632v1.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":"statement-networks-a-power-structure","repo_url":"https://github.com/shoumikchow/statement-network-NeurIPS2018","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"articles","task_name":"Articles"},{"task_slug":"community-detection","task_name":"Community Detection"},{"task_slug":"form","task_name":"Form"},{"task_slug":"named-entity-recognition-1","task_name":"Named Entity Recognition"},{"task_slug":"named-entity-recognition-ner","task_name":"Named Entity Recognition (NER)"},{"task_slug":"named-entity-recognition","task_name":"named-entity-recognition"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
