An automated pipeline for the discovery of conspiracy and conspiracy theory narrative frameworks: Bridgegate, Pizzagate and storytelling on the web
Fig 16
Comparison of relationship labels generated by our automated methodology with the the NY Times Bridgegate graph for Chris Christie.
Most significant relationship labels from the “Chris Christie” node to other nodes are displayed here. For each node, we also include one descriptive phrase that was found in an automated manner by our pipeline. These descriptive phrases match very closely the roles portrayed in the NY Times Bridgegate graph. As in other figures, the edge labels only pick the most important verbs for the associated relationship phrase. The rest of the words in the corresponding phrases provide the necessary context for meaningful interpretations of these verbs. For example, the verb“pinned” connecting Christie to Anne Bridgett Kelly, is part of the phrase, “pinned the blame on,” which we extracted from the text.
