description Online news articles are an important source of information for decisions makers to understand the causal relation of events that happened. However, understanding the causality of an event or between events by traditional machine learning-based techniques from natural language text is a challenging task due to the complexity of the language to be comprehended by the machines. In this study, the Knowledge-oriented convolutional neural network (K-CNN) technique is used to extract the causal relation from online news articles related to the South China Sea (SCS) dispute. The proposed K-CNN model contains a Knowledge-oriented channel that can capture the causal phrases of causal relationships. A Data-oriented channel that captures the position information was added to the K-CNN model in this phase. The online news articles were collected from the national news agency and then the sentences which contain relation such as causal, message-topic, and product-producer were extracted. Then, the extracted sentences were annotated and converted into lower form and base form followed by transformed into the vector by looking up the word embedding table. A word filter that contains causal keywords was generated and a K-CNN model was developed, trained, and tested using the collected data. Finally, different architectures of the K-CNN model were compared to find out the most suitable architecture for this study. From the study, it was found out that the most suitable architecture was the K-CNN model with a Knowledge-oriented channel and a Data-oriented channel with average pooling. This shows that the linguistic clues and the position features can improve the performance in extracting the causal relation from the SCS online news articles.
