Yves Bestgen · 2019
Tintin, the system proposed by the CECL for the Hyperpartisan News Detection task of Se-mEval 2019, is exclusively based on the tokens that make up the documents and a standard supervised learning procedure.It obtained very contrasting results: poor on the main task, but much more effective at distinguishing documents published by hyperpartisan media outlets from unbiased ones, as it ranked first.An analysis of the most important features highlighted the positive aspects, but also some potential limitations of the approach.
