Abstract
We present a software tool that employs state-of-the-art natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning techniques to help newspaper editors compose effective headlines for online publication. The system identifies the most salient keywords in a news article and ranks them based on both their overall popularity and their direct relevance to the article. The system also uses a supervised regression model to identify headlines that are likely to be widely shared on social media. The user interface is designed to simplify and speed the editor's decision process on the composition of the headline. As such, the tool provides an efficient way to combine the benefits of automated predictors of engagement and search-engine optimization (SEO) with human judgments of overall headline quality.

Attractive or Faithful? Popularity-Reinforced Learning for Inspired Headline Generation

TL;DR: Zhang et al. as discussed by the authors proposed a novel framework called POpularity-Reinforced Learning for inspired Headline Generation (PORL-HG), which exploits the extractive-abstractive architecture with Popular Topic Attention (PTA) for guiding the extractor to select the attractive sentence from the article and a popularity predictor to guide the abstractor to rewrite the sentence.

Learning to Determine the Quality of News Headlines.

TL;DR: This paper proposes four indicators to determine the quality of published news headlines based on their click count and dwell time, which are obtained by website log analysis and uses soft target distribution of the calculated quality indicators to train the proposed deep learning model, which outperforms other state-of-the-art NLP models.

The Stanford CoreNLP Natural Language Processing Toolkit

TL;DR: The design and use of the Stanford CoreNLP toolkit is described, an extensible pipeline that provides core natural language analysis, and it is suggested that this follows from a simple, approachable design, straightforward interfaces, the inclusion of robust and good quality analysis components, and not requiring use of a large amount of associated baggage.

The Language of the News

Martin Conboy
TL;DR: In this paper, the development of newspaper language and its development in a contemporary newspaper language is discussed. But the focus is on the content and structure of news articles rather than the content itself.

TL;DR: It is shown that the combination of linguistically motivated sentence compression with statistically selected topic terms performs better than either alone or either alone, according to some automatic summary evaluation measures.
