Multifacet comparative analysis of newspaper articles from different countries - Analysis based on Global Database of Events, Language and Tone (GDELT) -

Abstract

The News Site Contrast (NSContrast) system analyzes multiple news sites based on the concept of contrast set mining and it can extract terms that characterize different topics of interest for specific countries. In this study, we used the NSContrast system to analyze Global Database of Events, Language and Tone (GDELT) data by comparing news articles from different regions (e.g., USA, Asia, and the Middle East). We also present examples of analyses performed using this system.
