Grantham Scholar Ye Jiang’s is now at Qingdao University of Science and Technology as an Associate Professor. Ye’s project at the Grantham Centre investigated correlations between natural disasters, climate change, and the reporting and understanding of such events.
This project will investigate correlations between natural disasters, climate change, and the reporting and understanding of such events. It will deploy a Natural Language Processing (NLP) framework for text analysis, used to understand the content of news articles and messages on social media, and methods from journalism and machine learning strategy to examine the ways in which news stories are reported which generate emotions or sentiments polarity by using the language of risk, fear and anxiety.
Examination of the style and content of news stories will establish the degree to which framing of information (amplifying, diminishing or distorting the event) has been undertaken. An open-source NLP software, GATE, will be applied in this project for analysing the news articles from different types of sources, and investigating the use of language in the articles. The latest word-embedding will also be applied for analysing the similarity between words, sentences and documents. News articles will be classified according to sentiment and emotion, to understand what attitudes and motivations appear in different places and time periods.
Ye Jiang was part of a team that won the Hyperpartisan News Detection Challenges. Find out more about the competition and the winning team.
