• Abstract summary: We propose a Title Debiasing News Recommendation with Cross-field Contrastive learning (TDNR-C2) to overcome the title bias by incorporating news abstract. Specifically, a multi-field knowledge extraction module is devised to extract multi-view knowledge about news from various fields. We present a cross-field contrastive learning module to conduct bias removal via contrasting learned knowledge from title and abstract fileds.

• Abstract: News recommendation emerges as a primary means for users to access content of interest from the vast amount of news. The title clickbait extensively exists in news domain and increases the difficulty for news recommendation to offer satisfactory services for users. Fortunately, we find that news abstract, as a critical field of news, aligns cohesively with the news authenticity. To this end, we propose a Title Debiasing News Recommendation with Cross-field Contrastive learning (TDNR-C2) to overcome the title bias by incorporating news abstract. Specifically, a multi-field knowledge extraction module is devised to extract multi-view knowledge about news from various fields. Afterwards, we present a cross-field contrastive learning module to conduct bias removal via contrasting learned knowledge from title and abstract fileds. Experimental results on a real-world dataset demonstrate the superiority of the proposed TDNR-C2 over existing state-of-the-art methods. Further analysis also indicates the significance of news abstract for title debiasing.

  We present NEWSSENSE, a novel sensemaking tool and reading interface designed to collect and integrate information from multiple news articles on a central topic. NEWSSENSE augments a central, grounding article of the user's choice by linking it to related articles from different sources. Our pilot study shows that NEWSSENSE has the potential to help users identify key information, verify the credibility of news articles, and explore different perspectives.

  We propose a novel Title-Text similarity and emotion-aware Fake news detection (TieFake) method by jointly modeling the multi-modal context information and the author sentiment. Specifically, we employ BERT and ResNeSt to learn the representations for text and images, and utilize publisher emotion extractor to capture the author's subjective emotion in the news content.

  This paper investigates the challenges of building scalable NLP systems for discovering patterns of media selection biases directly from news content in massive-scale news corpora. We show the capabilities of the framework through a case study on NELA-2020, a corpus of 1.8M news articles in English from 519 news sources worldwide.

  Existing personalised news recommendation methods focus on exploiting user interests and ignores exploration in recommendation. We build on contextual bandits recommendation strategies which naturally address the exploitation-exploration trade-off. We use deep learning representations for users and news, and generalise the neural upper confidence bound (UCB) policies to generalised additive UCB and bilinear UCB.

  A key challenge of online news recommendation is to help users find articles they are interested in. Traditional news recommendation methods usually use single news information, which is insufficient to encode news and user representation. We propose an Event Extraction-based News Recommendation framework to overcome these shortcomings.
