News headlines and summaries shape how events are interpreted through selective emphasis and omission, a phenomenon commonly referred to as framing. Large language models are now routinely used to generate such content, yet existing…
Multi-document news summarisation systems are increasingly adopted for their convenience in processing vast daily news content, making fairness across diverse political perspectives critical. However, these systems can exhibit political…
A crowdsourcing translation approach is an effective tool for globalization of site content, but it is also an important source of parallel linguistic data. For the given site, processed with a crowdsourcing system, a sentence-aligned…
