5W1H Extraction With Large Language Models
The extraction of essential news elements through the 5W1H framework (What, When, Where, Why, Who, and How) is critical for event extraction and text summarization. While Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT show promise, they face challenges with long news texts and precise context-dependent extraction, especially for What, Why, and How. This research addresses these limitations by first annotating a high-quality 5W1H dataset from four typical news corpora. Second, it designs efficient fine-tuning strategies for LLMs, demonstrating superior performance compared to ChatGPT. Furthermore, the study explores domain adaptation capabilities, highlighting the potential for LLMs to enhance 5W1H extraction in news analysis.
Executive Impact: Precision in News Analysis
Leveraging advanced LLM techniques for 5W1H extraction offers unparalleled opportunities to refine news aggregation, enhance event intelligence, and automate detailed text summarization, overcoming previous challenges in context understanding and accuracy.

Real-world Extraction Example: News Article
Scenario: Extracting comprehensive 5W1H elements from a detailed news report about a "Tyne-Wear derby" and a "Hurricane Hilary" example.
Problem: Accurately identifying all relevant 5W1H aspects, especially complex ones like "Why" and "How," from detailed news reports. Challenges include deep context understanding, avoiding repetitions, and correct entity classification (e.g., distinguishing "Hurricane Hilary" as a storm from a person).
Solution Breakdown & Outcomes:
Original Text (Hurricane Hilary Excerpt): "The news is Hurricane Hilary has intensified into a Category 4 storm as it nears Mexico's Baja California peninsula, yet is expected to weaken over the weekend as it brings rain and the threat of flooding to parts of the Southwest US.Hilary was churning about 425 miles south of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, early Friday morning with sustained winds of 140 mph with stronger gusts..."
Zero-shot ChatGPT (for "Who"): "1. Hurricane Hilary (personification of the storm) 2. People living in Mexico's Baja California peninsula and the Southwest US (affected by the storm)..."
Critique: Struggles significantly. Misidentifies "Hurricane Hilary" as a person and fails to capture important contextual details.
Original Text (Tyne-Wear Derby Excerpt): A comprehensive article detailing a football match, team performance, key players, dates, and locations.
Fine-tuned LLaMa: Extracts a wide range of relevant details for all 5W1H aspects, including nuanced descriptions for "What," "Why," and "How." Some instances of repetition were observed.
Example "Who": "Alan Pardew, Massadio Haidara, keeper Jak Alnwick, Newcastle, Moussa Sissoko, Yoan Gouffran, Remy Cabella, Emmanuel Riviere..."
Few-shot ChatGPT: Provides more accurate, albeit less detailed, extractions for simpler entities. Struggles with the depth required for "How" and "Why."
Example "How": "Newcastle lost 4-0 to Spurs in the Capital One Cup, causing them to focus on their upcoming match against Sunderland."
Few-shot GPT-4: Achieves near human-level accuracy, capturing multiple, context-rich instances for each 5W1H element in structured JSON. Successfully handles complex questions for "What," "Why," and "How."
Example "What": ["Sunday 's Tyne-Wear derby takes on a new dimension now they 're out of the cup", "It was, in the end , a rather timid surrender", "The thought of going into that game without Sissoko is a frightening one"]
Overall Outcome: Fine-tuned LLMs and few-shot GPT-4 consistently deliver the most comprehensive and accurate 5W1H extraction, especially for complex, context-dependent elements. Zero-shot ChatGPT proves insufficient for the intricate demands of news analysis.
