The paper investigates affective framing in Bengali digital journalism by analyzing 300,000 news headlines with zero‑shot inference using Gemma 3 4B to estimate dominant emotions and overall affective tone. Results reveal frequent negative emotions—especially anger, sadness, disappointment, and fear—across the corpus, and a pilot validation on 200 headlines indicates the model’s estimates are useful yet not definitive benchmarks. The authors suggest a bias‑sensitive news interface that visualizes emotional cues to help readers detect affective framing patterns in daily news.
arXiv:2608. 05155v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Traditional sentiment analysis (SA) models, while effective for polarity classification, provide limited insight into the rhetorical, ideological, and framing dimensions of political discourse -- dimensions that are central to research in the social sciences and humanities (SSH).

The paper presents a large‑scale study of ragebait on Japanese X, developing an ensemble classifier trained on a dataset labeled with the help of a large language model. The detector was applied to a vast collection of Japanese posts, revealing that ragebait is especially common in politically and socially contentious topics such as politics, discrimination, public health, and interpersonal conflict. Ragebait posts spread more quickly and elicit stronger negative emotions—anger, fear, disgust, sadness, and surprise—than non‑ragebait posts.

The paper presents a large‑scale study of ragebait—content designed to provoke anger—on Japanese posts on X. It introduces a labeled dataset created with a large language model, trains Japanese language models, and builds an ensemble classifier that detects ragebait. Applying this detector to a vast dataset reveals that ragebait is especially common in politically and socially contentious topics, spreads faster, and elicits stronger negative emotions than non‑ragebait posts.

The paper introduces a hybrid BERT‑CNN‑BiLSTM model for simultaneously classifying Bangla news headlines and performing sentiment analysis. Using the BAN‑ABSA dataset of 9,014 headlines, the authors compare two sampling strategies and report headline accuracy up to 81.37 % and sentiment accuracy up to 73.43 %. The proposed framework outperforms baseline models and establishes new state‑of‑the‑art results for Bangla headline classification and sentiment analysis.
We present AutoJourn, a demonstration system for multi-perspective news generation and bias-aware evaluation using large language models (LLMs). The system tackles three core challenges in responsible automated journalism: extracting diverse perspectives from unstructured social media discussions, generating summaries that preserve viewpoint diversity, and detecting or mitigating bias in AI-generated news.

Crisis sentiment analysis is especially challenging for low-resource languages such as Bangla, where language, context, and public reaction shift rapidly. We introduce UNRESTSENT200K, a Bangla crisis...
