NewsEmbed: Modeling News through Pre-trained Document Representations
Effectively modeling text-rich fresh content such as news articles at document-level is a challenging problem. To ensure a content-based model generalize well to a broad range of applications, it is critical to have a training dataset that is large beyond the scale of human labels while achieving desired quality. In this work, we address those two challenges by proposing a novel approach to mine semantically-relevant fresh documents, and their topic labels, with little human supervision. Meanwhile, we design a multitask model called NewsEmbed that alternatively trains a contrastive learning with a multi-label classification to derive a universal document encoder. We show that the proposed approach can provide billions of high quality organic training examples and can be naturally extended to multilingual setting where texts in different languages are encoded in the same semantic space. We experimentally demonstrate NewsEmbed's competitive performance across multiple natural language understanding tasks, both supervised and unsupervised.

FUM: Fine-grained and Fast User Modeling for News Recommendation
User modeling is important for news recommendation. Existing methods usually first encode user's clicked news into news embeddings independently and then aggregate them into user embedding. However, the word-level intera…
News RecommendationFrom Noise to Signal: When Outliers Seed New Topics
Outliers in dynamic topic modeling are typically treated as noise, yet we show that some can serve as early signals of emerging topics. We introduce a temporal taxonomy of news-document trajectories that defines how docu…
