Abstract
A method of providing cross-media event linking may include: receiving, at a first input of an event coreferencing system, a stream of social media postings, and at a second input, a stream of news articles; generating, by the event coreferencing system, a first set of event representations representing events referenced by the social media postings, and a second set of event representations representing events referenced by the news articles; determining, by the event coreferencing system, that at least one of the social media postings references a same event referenced by at least one of the news articles, the determining including determining at least one similarity using data of at least one of the first set of event representations corresponding to the at least one of the social media postings and data of at least one of the second set of event representations corresponding to the at least one of the news articles; and transmitting, by an output of the event resolution system to the user system, an alert including at least one coreferenced event representation representing the event referenced by the at least one of the social media postings and the at least one of the news ar…
