Why does the president tweet this? Discovering reasons and contexts for politicians’ tweets from news articles

作者:

Highlights:

• A first end-to-end framework discovering causal backgrounds for politicians’ tweets.

• A clause-based Open IE system with considerations on rule-free representations.

• We find implicit causalities between tweets and news articles.

• Experiment results correspond well with political journalists’ analysis.

• We publish a first well-curated tweet-intent-interpretation benchmark dataset.
