Identifying Issue Frames in Text
نویسندگان
چکیده
Framing, the effect of context on cognitive processes, is a prominent topic of research in psychology and public opinion research. Research on framing has traditionally relied on controlled experiments and manually annotated document collections. In this paper we present a method that allows for quantifying the relative strengths of competing linguistic frames based on corpus analysis. This method requires little human intervention and can therefore be efficiently applied to large bodies of text. We demonstrate its effectiveness by tracking changes in the framing of terror over time and comparing the framing of abortion by Democrats and Republicans in the U.S.

LDA-frames is an unsupervised approach for identifying semantic frames from semantically unlabeled text corpora, and seems to be a useful competitor for manually created databases of selectional preferences. The most limiting property of the algorithm is such that the number of frames and roles must be predefined. In this paper we present a modification of the LDA-frames algorithm allowing the ...

Scene and graphic text can provide important supplemental index information in video sequences. In this paper we address the problem automatically identifying text regions in digital video key frames. The text contained in video frames is typically very noisy because it is aliased and/or digitized at a much lower resolution than typical document images, making identiica-tion, extraction and rec...
متن کاملIdentifying Media Frames and Frame Dynamics Within and Across Policy Issues
Framing is a central concept in political communication and a powerful political tool. Understanding what frames are used to define specific issues and also what general patterns are evidenced by the evolution of frames over time is hugely important. It is also a serious challenge, thanks to the volume of text data, the dynamic nature of language, and the variance in applicable frames across is...
