Dynamic Network Analysis of Global News Events

The GlobalDNA research project investigated the way the world is interlinked and discover new relationships between events that cannot be discovered today. The GlobalDNA action focused on the following scientific and training objectives: (a) Investigate the way the world is interlinked and discover new relationships between events: GlobalDNA performed the first analysis of economic activity of a country through the prism of its financial transaction network. (b) Develop novel network analysis and text mining approaches: GlobalDNA developed novel approach for extraction of aspect-based sentiment from news and social media texts. The first step to achieve this consists of creating multimodal data driven complex models, which enable the provision of different views of the events happening in the world. GlobalDNA works towards the objective of observing and modelling the world by designing, developing and applying dynamic network analysis methodologies to the Global Event Observatory in order to create a multi-resolution image of the world. Within the project, two research areas, namely text analysis and social network analysis are brought together.
