Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | a lack of general-purpose tools to characterize and predict ideology across genres of text remains a challenge . a recent study compared ideology-driven pretraining tasks with long or formal written texts . |
| Approach: | They propose to use a large-scale dataset to train pretraining models that compare political news articles on the same story written by different ideologies. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms baseline models and state-of-the-art models on ideology prediction and stance detection tasks. |
