Happy to share that our work on multi-modal framing analysis of news was accepted to #EMNLP2025!

Understanding news output and embedded biases is especially important in today's environment and it's imperative to take a holistic look at it.

Looking forward to presenting it in Suzhou!

🚨New pre-print 🚨

News articles often convey different things in text vs. image. Recent work in computational framing analysis has analysed the article text but the corresponding images in those articles have been overlooked.
We propose multi-modal framing analysis of news: arxiv.org/abs/2503.20960
