Modeling and visualization of media in Arabic

作者：

Highlights：

• Mathematical modeling and visualization methods for media in Arabic are developed.

• A new measure, named the Mean Rank Dependency, is introduced, for evaluation of similarity between newspaper issue and a set of its earlier ones.

• Changes in the linguistic content and their connection to fluctuations in societal developments are traced using this measure.

• A new distance function quantifying issues diversity through the Mean Rank Dependency is presented.
