NLP and complex systems detect historical shifts in Italian media

Researchers have developed a novel method to identify historical turning points in Italian media discourse using natural language processing and complex systems analysis. By examining a corpus of approximately 600,000 articles from "La Repubblica" published between 1985 and 2000, the study successfully detected significant shifts in media content. These shifts correspond to major political transitions, such as the move from Italy's First Republic to its Second Republic, and international events like the Gulf War and the Kosovo War, all without prior labeling.
