Computational Journalism

Modern journalism increasingly relies on content management technologies in order to represent, store, and query source data and media objects themselves. Writing news articles increasingly requires consulting several sources, interpreting their findings in context, and crossing links between related sources of information. Cedar research results directly applicable to this area provide techniques and tools for rich Web content warehouse management. This work will be funded by the ANR ContentCheck project, and a Google Award on Even Thread Extraction. We work in collaboration with Le Monde's “Les Décodeurs” team to investigate these topics.
