Although both papers study the popularity dynamics of user-generated videos, the focus is quite different. Paper 1 tries to characterize the evolution of YouTube video popularity in a general sense, while Paper 2 focuses on the content-agnostic factors only, and deliberately removes the impact that might be caused by video content. In paper 1, a three-phase evolution model is proposed to explain the popularity dynamics, while paper 2 does not have such characterization.
+
Goal of first paper is to extract narrative event chains using unsupervised methods. Whereas, goal of second paper is to find the relation between verbs. Relations considered in second paper are similarity, strength, antonymy, enablement, and temporal relations.

For characterizing the popularity evolution of videos, Paper 1 proposes a time-to-peak distribution based on empirical analysis, and uses a three-phase (before, at and after peak) model to account for temporal varying factors that impact popularity, while Paper 2 uses PCA, correlation analysis techniques, and a multi-linear regression model for assessing the importance of different content-agnostic factors.

Paper 2 uses approach motivated by mutual information to compute strength of relation between verb pairs and surface pattern. Paper 1 uses mutual information motivated approach to induce narrative events. It uses Support Vector Machines temporal ordering of connected events.

Papers

1. Unsupervised Learning of Narrative Event Chains, by N. Chambers, D. Jurafsky. [1]

2. VerbOcean:Mining the Web for Fine-Grained Semantic Verb Relations, by T. Chklovski, P. Pantel. [2]

Problem

Goal of first paper is to extract narrative event chains using unsupervised methods. Whereas, goal of second paper is to find the relation between verbs. Relations considered in second paper are similarity, strength, antonymy, enablement, and temporal relations.

Method

Paper 2 uses approach motivated by mutual information to compute strength of relation between verb pairs and surface pattern. Paper 1 uses mutual information motivated approach to induce narrative events. It uses Support Vector Machines temporal ordering of connected events.


Dataset

Paper 1 uses a Gigaword corpus. Whereas, in Paper 2 Google is used to find number of hits for relation verb pair and surface pattern .


Additional Questions

1. How much time did you spend reading the (new, non-wikified) paper you summarized? 2 hour

2. How much time did you spend reading the old wikified paper? 1 hours

3. How much time did you spend reading the summary of the old paper? 10 minutes

4. How much time did you spend reading background materiel?

5. Was there a study plan for the old paper?
