NeuS: Neutral Multi-News Summarization for Mitigating Framing Bias (2022.naacl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | a new task is proposed to reduce media news framing bias by generating a neutral summary from multiple news articles of the varying political leanings. |
| Approach: | They propose a task that generates a neutral summary from multiple news articles . they find title provides a good signal for framing bias and propose metric and model . |
| Outcome: | The proposed task can neutralize news content in hierarchical order from title to article . scalability remains a bottleneck due to the time-consuming human labor needed for composing the roundup . |

Demoting the Lead Bias in News Summarization via Alternating Adversarial Learning (2021.acl-short)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | In news articles the lead bias dominates the learning signals for neural extractive summarizations, severely limiting their performance on data with different or even no bias. |
| Approach: | They propose a method to demote the lead bias in news and make the model focus more on the content semantics. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method can demote the model’s learned lead bias and improve its generality on out-of-distribution data with little to no performance loss on in-difference data. |

Mitigating Framing Bias with Polarity Minimization Loss (2023.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | polarity is a pervasive problem in modern media, misleading the understanding of what really happened via a skewed selection of information and language. |
| Approach: | They propose a loss function that encourages the model to minimize the polarity difference between the skewed input articles to reduce framing bias. |
| Outcome: | The proposed loss improves the model's ability to map polarity ends bidirectionally. |
