Aspect-level news browsing: understanding news events from multiple viewpoints

Aspect-level news browsing provides readers with a classified view of news articles with different viewpoints. It facilitates active interactions with which readers easily discover and compare diverse existing biased views over a news event. As such, it effectively helps readers understand the event from a plural of viewpoints and formulate their own, more balanced viewpoints free from specific biased views. Realizing aspect-level browsing raises important challenges, mainly due to the lack of semantic knowledge with which to and classify the intended salient aspects of articles.

The evaluation results show that the developed method performs classification more accurately than other methods. Author Keywords Media Bias, Aspect-level News Browsing, Aspect-level Classification.
