Automatic Extraction of News Values from Headline Text
نویسندگان
چکیده
Headlines play a crucial role in attracting audiences’ attention to online artefacts (e.g. news articles, videos, blogs). The ability to carry out an automatic, largescale analysis of headlines is critical to facilitate the selection and prioritisation of a large volume of digital content. In journalism studies news content has been extensively studied using manually annotated news values – factors used implicitly and explicitly when making decisions on the selection and prioritisation of news items. This paper presents the first attempt at a fully automatic extraction of news values from headline text. The news values extraction methods are applied on a large headlines corpus collected from The Guardian, and evaluated by comparing it with a manually annotated gold standard. A crowdsourcing survey indicates that news values affect people’s decisions to click on a headline, supporting the need for an automatic news values detection.

متن کاملHEADY: News headline abstraction through event pattern clustering
This paper presents HEADY: a novel, abstractive approach for headline generation from news collections.

متن کاملAutomatic Indexing of Newspaper Microfilm Images
This paper describes a proposed document analysis system that aims at automatic indexing of digitized images of old newspaper microfilms. This is done by extracting news headlines from microfilm images. The headlines are then converted to machine readable text by OCR to serve as indices to the respective news articles.
