A Dataset for Direct Quotation Extraction and Attribution in News Articles.

Overview

DirectQuote - A Dataset for Direct Quotation Extraction and Attribution in News Articles

DirectQuote is a corpus containing 19,760 paragraphs and 10,353 direct quotations manually annotated from online news media.

A quotation is a general notion that covers different kinds of speech, thought, and writing in text (Semino and Short,2004). It is a prominent linguistic device for expressing opinions, statements, and assessments attributed to the speaker (Cappelen and Lepore, 2012). Among all kinds of quotations, the entire content of the direct quotation (O’Keefe et al.,2013) is in quotation marks, which means that what the speaker said is transcribed verbatim.

Task Definition

Quotation extractionis defined as extracting reported speech from a third party in the text, also known as reportedspeech extraction. Quotation attribution refers to determining the speaker of the quotation. When annotating speakers, we ensure that valid speakers should be able to belinked to a person entity in a named entity library. Among them, simple patterns are removed to increase the diversity of the corpus.

We select representative and multiple news sources across the political spectrum, including 13 well-known online news media from five major English-speaking countries. The corpus adopts the format consistent with CoNLL 2003. We use IOB1 format in the corpus. Raw texts are tokenized by whitespace tokenizer. Every word is classified into the following lables:

  • LeftSpeaker Quotation, the corresponding speaker is in the preceding text
  • RightSpeaker Quotation, the corresponding speaker is in the following text
  • Unknown Quotation, no corresponding speaker
  • Speaker Speaker
  • Out Neither

    Suggestion of including source of each paragraph

    Hello Sir / Ma'am,

    I am highly interested in using this dataset for research purposes. I understand that the data provided has already been preprocessed; may I ask if it would be possible to include the news source (e.g. The New York Times, The Guardian) of each paragraph? This is because I am looking for articles from The New York Times specifically. Thank you so much!

    Best regards
