Quote Extraction and Attribution from Norwegian Newspapers

Year: 2017
Type: article
Abstract: We present ongoing work that, for the first time, seeks to extract and attribute politicians' quotations from Norwegian Bokmål newspapers.Our methodusing a statistical dependency parser, a few regular expressions and a look-up tablegives modest recall (a best of .570)but very high precision (.978) and attribution accuracy (.987) for a restricted set of speaker names.We suggest that this is already sufficient to support some kinds of important social science research, but also identify ways in which performance could be improved.
