Abstract

Fully understanding an older news article requires context knowledge from the time of article creation. Finding infor- mation about such context is a tedious and time-consuming task, which distracts the reader. Simple contextualization via Wiki cation is not su cient here. The retrieved con- text information has to be time-aware, concise (not full Wiki pages) and focused on the coherence of the article topic. In this paper, we present Contextualizer, a web-based system that acquires additional information for supporting inter- pretations of a news article of interest that requires a map- ping, in this case, a kind of time-travel translation between present context knowledge and context knowledge at time of text creation. For a given article, the system provides a GUI that allows users to highlight their interested key- words which are then used to construct appropriate queries for retrieving contextualization candidates. Contextualizer exploits different kinds of information such as temporal simi- larity and textual complementarity to re-rank the candidates and presents to users in a friendly and interactive web-based interface.
