Furthermore, in order to ensure that we are actually modeling the political ideology as it is expressed in the language of the news, we created evaluation splits in two different ways: (i) randomly, which is what is typically done (for comparison only), and (ii) based on media, where all articles by the same medium appear in either the training, the validation, or the testing dataset. The task of predicting the political ideology of news articles is typically formulated as a classification problem, where the textual content of the articles is encoded into a vector representation that is used to train a classifier to predict one of C classes (in our case, C = 3: left, center, and right). ./cache/cord-197474-2wzf7nzz.txt ./txt/cord-197474-2wzf7nzz.txt
