Abstract


Exploring large news collections created by media outlets with traditional search engines is impractical for demanding users. We propose a temporal exploration tool that aims to facilitate the consultation of news collections. We concentrated our efforts on two fronts: (i) allowing users to make queries with the addition of information from documents represented by word embbedings, and; (ii) retrieving temporal information to generate timelines presented by an appropriate interface. We evaluated our solution in a collection of a Brazilian newspaper, demonstrating that it can draw different timelines, covering different subtopics of the same theme.
