India News Extraction

Incidents reported in Indian news: what happened, to whom, and with what vehicles or assets — as reported, one article-cluster per record, laid out across the client's three sheets.

What this page does

These are the columns you get in the spreadsheet. For each one you give a name, the kind of value it holds, the tab it goes on, and an instruction telling the AI what to look for in the article. Use Add field for a new column, Remove to delete one, then Save changes. Clear the name box to delete a field as well.

Write the instruction carefully. It is the only thing telling the AI what belongs in the column, so say what to include and what to leave out. A column is left empty when the article does not support it, which is the right answer — an empty cell is better than a guessed one.

Tabs

Type a tab name against a column and it goes on that tab of the spreadsheet. Separate names with commas to put the same column on more than one tab — a date or a city usually belongs on all of them. Leave the box empty and the column goes on the single default tab.

Tabs come out in the order their first column appears below, and columns come out in the order they are listed. So to move a column, move its row; to move a whole tab, move its first column.

Key column decides which rows a tab shows. A tab lists a record only when at least one of its key columns has something in it — that is what keeps a tab of people from repeating every record that merely has a date. Set none and the tab lists everything.

Judgement field. When this is yes, the AI must also copy the exact sentence from the article into suspicion_quote. If that sentence is not really in the article, the record is rejected.

Always included, automatically

Every tab ends with these, so no tab is a set of claims with no way back to where they came from. You do not add them — but you can put one in the list above to choose where it sits and what it is headed, and it will not be repeated at the end.
