title: NeMig - A Bilingual News Collection and Knowledge Graph about Migration

description: NeMig represents a bilingual news collection and knowledge graphs on the topic of migration. The news corpora in German and English were collected from online media outlets from Germany and the US, respectively. NeMIg contains rich textual and metadata information, sentiment and political orientation annotations, as well as named entities extracted from the articles' content and metadata and linked to Wikidata. The corresponding knowledge graphs (NeMigKG) built from each corpus are expanded with up to two-hop neighbors from Wikidata of the initial set of linked entities. NeMigKG comes in four flavors, for both the German, and the English corpora: Base NeMigKG: contains literals and entities from the corresponding annotated news corpus; Entities NeMigKG: derived from the Base NeMIg by removing all literal nodes, it contains only resource nodes; Enriched Entities NeMigKG: derived from the Entities NeMig by enriching it with up to two-hop neighbors from Wikidata, it contains only resource nodes and Wikidata triples; Complete NeMigKG: the combination of the Base and Enriched Entities NeMig, it contains both literals and resources. Information about uploaded files: (all files are b-zipped and in the N-Triples format.) A description of the <strong>NeMigKG files</strong> is provided in the table below: NeMigKG Files Description File Description nemig_<em>$</em>{<em>language}</em>_ <em>$</em>{<em>graph_type}</em>-metadata.nt.bz2 Metadata about the dataset, described using void vocabulary. nemig_<em>$</em>{<em>language}</em>_ <em>$</em>{<em>graph_type}</em>-instances_types.nt.bz2 Class definitions of news and event instances. nemig_<em>$</em>{<em>language}</em>_ <em>$</em>{<em>graph_type}</em>-instances_labels.nt.bz2 Labels of instances. nemig_<em>$</em>{<em>language}</em>_ <em>$</em>{<em>graph_type}</em>-instances_related.nt.bz2 Relations between news instances based on one another. nemig_<em>$</em>{<em>language}</em>_ <em>$</em>{<em>graph_type}</em>-instances_metadata_literals.nt.bz2 Relations between news instances and metadata literals (e.g. URL, publishing date, modification date, sentiment label, political orientation of news outlets). nemig_<em>$</em>{<em>language}</em>_ <em>$</em>{<em>graph_type}</em>-instances_content_mapping.nt.bz2 Mapping of news instances to content instances (e.g. title, abstract, body). nemig_<em>$</em>{<em>language}</em>_ <em>$</em>{<em>graph_type}</em>-instances_topic_mapping.nt.bz2 Mapping of news instances to sub-topic instances. nemig_<em>${language</em>}_ <em>$</em>{<em>graph_type</em>}-instances_sentiment_mapping.nt.bz2 Mapping of news instances to sentiment classes. emig_<em>${language}</em>_ <em>${graph_type}</em>-instances_political_orientation_mapping.nt.bz2 Mapping of news outlets instances to political orientation classes. nemig_<em>$</em>{<em>language}</em>_ <em>$</em>{<em>graph_type}</em>-instances_content_literals.nt.bz2 Relations between content instances and corresponding literals (e.g. text of title, abstract, body). nemig_<em>${language}_ ${graph_type}</em>-instances_sentiment_polorient_literals.nt.bz2 Relations between instances and corresponding sentiment or political orientation literals. nemig_<em>$</em>{<em>language}</em>_ <em>$</em>{<em>graph_type}</em>-instances_metadata_resources.nt.bz2 Relations between news or sub-topic instances and entities extracted from metadata (i.e. publishers, authors, keywords). nemig_<em>$</em>{<em>language}</em>_ <em>$</em>{<em>graph_type}</em>-instances_event_mapping.nt.bz2 Mapping of news instances to event instances. nemig_<em>$</em>{<em>language}</em>_ <em>$</em>{<em>graph_type}</em>-event_resources.nt.bz2 Relations between event instances and entities extracted from the text of the news (i.e. actors, places, mentions). nemig_<em>$</em>{<em>language}</em>_ <em>$</em>{<em>graph_type}</em>-resources_provenance.nt.bz2 Provenance information about the entities extracted from the text of the news (e.g. title, abstract, body). nemig_<em>$</em>{<em>language}</em>_ <em>$</em>{<em>graph_type}</em>-wiki_resources.nt.bz2 Relations between Wikidata entities from news and their <em>k</em>-hop entity neighbors from Wikidata. The corresponding user data has been collected through online studies in Germany and the US. We used the participants' implicit feedback regarding their interest in an article to build their click history, and the explicit feedback in terms of news click behaviors to construct the impression logs. To protect user privacy, we assign each user an anonymized ID. The German and English user datasets are zip-compressed folders, which contain two files each. NeMig User Dataset File Description <strong>File</strong> <strong>Description</strong> behaviors.tsv The click history and impression logs of users. demographics_politics.tsv Demographic and political information of users. The <strong>behaviors.tsv</strong> file contains the users' news click histories and the impression logs. It has 4 columns divided by the tab symbol: Impression ID: the ID of an impression. User ID: The anonymized ID of an user. Click History: The news click history (list of news IDs) of a user before an impression. Impression Log: List of news displayed to the user in a session and the user's click behavior on them (1 for click, 0 for non-click). The <strong>demographics_politics.tsv</strong> file contains detailed information about the users' demographics and political interests. It has columns divided by the tab symbol. An explanation of all the columns and the questions used in the online studies to collect this information is shown in the table below.
