- Title: Sentence-level Media Bias Analysis with Event Relation Graph
- Authors: Yuanyuan Lei, Ruihong Huang,
- Abstract summary: We identify media bias at the sentence level, and pinpoint bias sentences that intend to sway readers' opinions.
In particular, we observe that events in a bias sentence need to be understood in associations with other events in the document.
We propose to construct an event relation graph to explicitly reason about event-event relations for sentence-level bias identification.

- Abstract: Media outlets are becoming more partisan and polarized nowadays. In this paper, we identify media bias at the sentence level, and pinpoint bias sentences that intend to sway readers' opinions. As bias sentences are often expressed in a neutral and factual way, considering broader context outside a sentence can help reveal the bias. In particular, we observe that events in a bias sentence need to be understood in associations with other events in the document. Therefore, we propose to construct an event relation graph to explicitly reason about event-event relations for sentence-level bias identification. The designed event relation graph consists of events as nodes and four common types of event relations: coreference, temporal, causal, and subevent relations. Then, we incorporate event relation graph for bias sentences identification in two steps: an event-aware language model is built to inject the events and event relations knowledge into the basic language model via soft labels; further, a relation-aware graph attention network is designed to update sentence embedding with events and event relations information based on hard labels. Experiments on two benchmark datasets demonstrate that our approach with the aid of event relation graph improves both precision and recall of bias sentence identification.
