论文摘要
社会运动以讲故事为主，因为叙事在参与这些运动的社区如何塑造其身份方面起着关键作用。因此，认识到不同社区的公认叙述对于理解社会运动至关重要。在这种情况下，记者在寻求报告社会抗议活动时面临着在社交媒体中了解这些新兴叙事的挑战。因此，他们将从支持工具中受益，使他们能够识别和探索这些叙述。在这项工作中，我们提出了一种从社交媒体中提取的叙事提取算法，其中包含了社区接受的概念。使用我们的方法，我们研究了2021年古巴抗议活动，并描述了五个相关社区。所提取的叙述在整个社区的结构和内容上都不同。我们的工作对研究社会运动，情报分析，计算新闻和错误信息研究具有影响。
Social movements are dominated by storytelling, as narratives play a key role in how communities involved in these movements shape their identities. Thus, recognizing the accepted narratives of different communities is central to understanding social movements. In this context, journalists face the challenge of making sense of these emerging narratives in social media when they seek to report social protests. Thus, they would benefit from support tools that allow them to identify and explore such narratives. In this work, we propose a narrative extraction algorithm from social media that incorporates the concept of community acceptance. Using our method, we study the 2021 Cuban protests and characterize five relevant communities. The extracted narratives differ in both structure and content across communities. Our work has implications in the study of social movements, intelligence analysis, computational journalism, and misinformation research.
