Vera V. Danilova · 2015
This paper presents a pipeline for multilingual analysis of contentious social behaviour. Its basic functionalities include news articles extraction from a variety of multilingual news sources (in Bulgarian, French, Polish, Russian, Spanish, and Swedish), protest event selection and an ontology-based event annotation. The results are output in CSV format. An evaluation of protest event selection and annotation (Event Reason slot) algorithms is presented.
