Extraction and attribution of public figures statements for journalism in Indonesia using deep learning

News articles are usually written by journalists based on statements taken from interviews with public figures. Attribution from such statements provides important information and it can be extracted from news articles to build a knowledge base by developing a sequential tagging scheme such as entity recognition. This research applies two deep learning architectures: recurrent neural networks-based and transformer-based, to establish public figures statement attribution and extraction models in the Indonesian Language. The experiments are conducted using five deep-learning model architectures with two different corpus sizes to investigate the impact of corpus size on each model’s performance. The experiments show that the best model for the RNN-based architecture is PFSA-ID-BLWCA which achieves 81.34 % F1 score, and the best model for the transformer-based is PFSA-ID-TWCA which obtains 81.01 % F1 score. This research also discovers that the size of the corpus influences the model performances. Furthermore, the study lays a foundation to overcome the attribution extraction in another language, especially low-resource languages, with some necessary adjustments.

By far, the corpus for the quotation extraction and quotation attribution tasks in Indonesian is still limited in quantity and depth. This study aims to develop an Indonesian corpus of public figure statements attributions and a baseline model for attribution extraction, so it will contribute to fostering research in information extraction for the Indonesian language.

Extracting information from unstructured data becomes a challenging task for computational linguistics. Public figure’s statement attributed by journalists in a story is one type of information that can be processed into structured data. Therefore, having the knowledge base about this data will be very beneficial for further use, such as for opinion mining, claim detection and fact-checking. This study aims to understand statement extraction tasks and the models that have already been applied to formulate a framework for further study.

Named Entity Recognition (NER) is a task in Information Extraction consisting in identifying and classifying just some types of information elements, called Named Entities (NE). I have tried to collect and curate some publications form Arxiv that related to NER, and the results were listed here. Please enjoy it!

Sentiment analysis is the area which deals with judgments, responses as well as feelings, which is generated from texts, being extensively used in fields like data mining, web mining, and social media analytics because sentiments are the most essential characteristics to judge the human behavior. I have tried to collect and curate some publications form Arxiv that related to the sentiment analysis in social media, and the results were listed here. Please enjoy it!
