Automatic story construction from news articles in an online fashion

This paper presents a novel story construction system to track the evolution of stories in an online fashion. The proposed system uses a novel sliding window solution, named Inching Window, allowing the processing of each new data element on-the-fly. To assign a new data element into a community in a fast and memory-efficient manner, we apply the modularity maximization idea of Louvain method on-the-fly. As part of the experimental validation, we provide step by step construction of a meaningful news story and support the case with a set of visualizations.
