Bloc-Conditional Event States: Measuring Cross-Coverage Divergence for Threat-Intelligence Analysis

Maryam Fooladi, Federico Bottino

Content-level measurement of cross-bloc framing divergence in news coverage of contested events. Each editorial bloc is represented as a density matrix ρ on a 15-dim framing-feature space (5 Semetko–Valkenburg frames · 4 dimension features · 6 Da San Martino manipulation indicators); trace distance D(ρ_state, ρ_mainstream) measures cross-bloc divergence. Three inferential layers — bloc-permutation null, within-bloc bootstrap, leave-one-outlet-out — test partition-construction circularity, sample stability, and outlet-level robustness against an enumerated within-mainstream baseline. The leading rank-2 subspace decomposes into a frame-axis and a manipulation-axis pair on both case studies (Hormuz blockade 2026, n = 16; Navalny death 2024, n = 14), positioning the bloc-difference operator as a content-level analogue to the source-level signals threat-intelligence workflows currently rely on.

Beyond Sentiment: Comparing Traditional NLP and LLM-Based Multi-Dimensional Analysis for Political News Evaluation

Maryam Fooladi, Federico Bottino

Comparative study of RoBERTa-based sentiment classifiers vs. LLM-based multi-dimensional analysis on political news. Identifies the "neutral collapse" — RoBERTa labels ~70% of political articles as neutral, with 23% of those carrying negative-probability scores above 0.30 — and demonstrates that LLM-based frameworks expose framing direction and intensity, sensationalism, emotional appeal, and ideological lean that single-axis sentiment hides. Applied to a corpus of 50 political articles from 17 international outlets.

A Multi-Layer AI Framework for Information Landscape Analysis

Maryam Fooladi, Federico Bottino

Multi-layer extraction architecture that turns raw news signals into the 15-dim epistemic vector at the heart of Newjee. Establishes the Frame · Dimension · Manipulation block decomposition and the per-feature evidence-span requirement that grounds every score in verbatim text. The architecture separates strategic narrative interpretation, operational extraction, regulatory mapping, and human-AI collaboration into distinct layers with structured interfaces — replacing the monolithic-LLM approach that fails on information-landscape analysis.

From Fact-Checking to Framing Measurement: A KPI-Driven Framework for Media Analysis and Information Disorder

Federico Bottino

The paper Newjee started from. It argues that media analysis has to move beyond true/false verdicts to measurable framing, and treats news the way product analytics treats user behaviour: a stream of signals with reproducible KPIs — frame distribution, manipulation indicators, source trust, propagation velocity, contradiction load. Builds on Wardle and Derakhshan (2017), Da San Martino et al. (2020) and Semetko and Valkenburg (2000).

The KVAi Lab — the AI laboratory of Kakashi Ventures Accelerator — works with researchers on information disorder, computational journalism, narrative dynamics and epistemic measurement. Open directions: replicating the Bloc-Conditional Event States rank-2 finding on a balanced corpus (n ≥ 10 events), the cross-domain bridge to adoption-signal density on stance-typed RKHS, and a layer that checks claims against recognised scientific evidence with a Wikipedia/Wikidata consensus baseline.
