Abstract(in English) In this paper we explore the properties of a set of news published after a natural disaster by using SOM (Self-organizing Maps), mainly the semantic characteristics of the generated map. SOM is used to produce a low-dimensional representation of the input data space by mapping high dimensional vectors into a 2-dimensional grid. Our SOM is composed by fewer units than input vectors ; training stage produces not only a visual representation but also a set of quantization points that can be considered as groups of highly related news. In order to get semantic descriptions about map organization, news context is interpreted as a set of most frequent words that gives an idea of their "meanings". The meanings obtained forms areas that divide the map, showing automatically the semantic relation of the inputs. Firstly, online news are converted to text files and encoded as numerical vectors by applying principal component analysis (PCA). Secondly, a SOM is developed and trained. Finally, semantic descriptions are obtained for each quantization point by interpreting the news contexts.
