We see the problem not in the complexity of interpreting language phenomena but in the diversity of sociocultural backgrounds of the readers, which cannot be handled uniformly: To decide whether a text has crossed the proverbial line between non-biased and biased is subjective.

This paper introduces Summary Explorer, a new tool to support the manual inspection of text summarization systems by compiling the outputs of 55~state-of-the-art single document summarization approaches on three benchmark datasets, and visually exploring them during a qualitative assessment.

Third, insights are provided into the suitability of our corpus for the task, the differences between the two generation paradigms, the trade-off between informativeness and conciseness, and the impact of encoding argumentative knowledge.

This paper introduces the task of {``}flipping{''} the bias of news articles: Given an article with a political bias (left or right), generate an article with the same topic but opposite bias.

Many argumentative texts, and news editorials in particular, follow a specific strategy to persuade their readers of some opinion or attitude.

In particular, we investigate to what extent the mined structure can be leveraged to assess the argumentation quality of persuasive essays.
