NewsEdits: A News Article Revision Dataset and a Novel Document-Level Reasoning Challenge (2022.naacl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | a large dataset of news article revision histories provides clues to narrative and factual evolution in news articles. |
| Approach: | They propose tasks to predict edit-actions performed during version updates . they define article-level edit actions: Addition, Deletion, Edit and Refactor . |
| Outcome: | The proposed dataset is large-scale and multilingual and spans 15 years . it shows that edit-actions are predictable and are likely to be based on factual evolution . |
