Abstract

We investigate the use of clustering methods for the task of grouping the text spans in a news article that refer to the same event. We provide evidence that the order in which events are described is structured in a way that can be exploited during clustering. We evaluate our approach on a corpus of news articles describing events that have occurred in the Iraqi War.
