Translation of News Headlines

Machine-Translation of news headlines is difficult since the sentences are fragmentary and abbreviations and acronyms of proper names are frequently used. Another difficulty is that, since the headline comes at the top of a news article, the context information useful to disambiguate the sense of words and to determine their translation(target word) is not available. This paper proposes a new a...

Negative News No More: Classifying News Article Headlines

Generating News Headlines with Recurrent Neural Networks

We describe an application of an encoder-decoder recurrent neural network with LSTM units and attention to generating headlines from the text of news articles. We find that the model is quite effective at concisely paraphrasing news articles. Furthermore, we study how the neural network decides which input words to pay attention to, and specifically we identify the function of the different neu...

Sentiment Analysis on Financial News Headlines using Training Dataset Augmentation

This paper discusses the approach taken by the UWaterloo team to arrive at a solution for the Fine-Grained Sentiment Analysis problem posed by Task 5 of SemEval 2017. The paper describes the document vectorization and sentiment score prediction techniques used, as well as the design and implementation decisions taken while building the system for this task. The system uses text vectorization mo...

Generating An Entailment Corpus From News Headlines

We describe our efforts to generate a large (100,000 instance) corpus of textual entailment pairs from the lead paragraph and headline of news articles. We manually inspected a small set of news stories in order to locate the most productive source of entailments, then built an annotation interface for rapid manual evaluation of further exemplars. With this training data we built an SVM-based d...
