Cognitive Representation Learning of Self-Media Online Article Quality
This addresses the need for quality assessment in self-media articles to improve online recommendation and search, though it appears incremental as it builds on existing representation learning approaches.
The authors tackled the problem of automatically assessing the quality of self-media online articles by developing a joint model (CoQAN) that integrates layout, writing characteristics, and text semantics, which significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods.
The automatic quality assessment of self-media online articles is an urgent and new issue, which is of great value to the online recommendation and search. Different from traditional and well-formed articles, self-media online articles are mainly created by users, which have the appearance characteristics of different text levels and multi-modal hybrid editing, along with the potential characteristics of diverse content, different styles, large semantic spans and good interactive experience requirements. To solve these challenges, we establish a joint model CoQAN in combination with the layout organization, writing characteristics and text semantics, designing different representation learning subnetworks, especially for the feature learning process and interactive reading habits on mobile terminals. It is more consistent with the cognitive style of expressing an expert's evaluation of articles. We have also constructed a large scale real-world assessment dataset. Extensive experimental results show that the proposed framework significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods, and effectively learns and integrates different factors of the online article quality assessment.
