BRIGHTER: BRIdging the Gap in Human-Annotated Textual Emotion Recognition Datasets for 28 Languages

Shamsuddeen Hassan Muhammad, Nedjma Ousidhoum, Idris Abdulmumin, Jan Philip Wahle, Terry Ruas, Meriem Beloucif +42
ACL 2025long

People worldwide use language in subtle and complex ways to express emotions. Although emotion recognition–an umbrella term for several NLP tasks–impacts various applications within NLP and beyond, most work in this area has focused on high-resource languages. This has led to significant disparities…

Re-FRAME the Meeting Summarization SCOPE: Fact-Based Summarization and Personalization via Questions

Frederic Kirstein, Sonu Kumar, Terry Ruas, Bela Gipp
EMNLP 2025

Meeting summarization with large language models (LLMs) remains error-prone, often producing outputs with hallucinations, omissions, and irrelevancies. We present FRAME, a modular pipeline that reframes summarization as a semantic enrichment task. FRAME extracts and scores salient facts, organizes t

The Promises and Pitfalls of LLM Annotations in Dataset Labeling: a Case Study on Media Bias Detection

Tomáš Horych, Christoph Mandl, Terry Ruas, Andre Greiner-Petter, Bela Gipp, Akiko Aizawa +1
NAACL 2025findings

High annotation costs from hiring or crowdsourcing complicate the creation of large, high-quality datasets needed for training reliable text classifiers. Recent research suggests using Large Language Models (LLMs) to automate the annotation process, reducing these costs while maintaining data qualit…

Voting or Consensus? Decision-Making in Multi-Agent Debate

Lars Benedikt Kaesberg, Jonas Becker, Jan Philip Wahle, Terry Ruas, Bela Gipp
ACL 2025finding

Much of the success of multi-agent debates depends on carefully choosing the right parameters. The decision-making protocol stands out as it can highly impact final model answers, depending on how decisions are reached. Systematic comparison of decision protocols is difficult because many studies al…

You need to MIMIC to get FAME: Solving Meeting Transcript Scarcity with Multi-Agent Conversations

Frederic Kirstein, Muneeb Khan, Jan Philip Wahle, Terry Ruas, Bela Gipp
ACL 2025finding

Meeting summarization suffers from limited high-quality data, mainly due to privacy restrictions and expensive collection processes. We address this gap with FAME, a dataset of 500 meetings in English and 300 in German produced by MIMIC, our new multi-agent meeting synthesis framework that generates…

MAGPIE: Multi-Task Analysis of Media-Bias Generalization with Pre-Trained Identification of Expressions

Tomáš Horych, Martin Paul Wessel, Jan Philip Wahle, Terry Ruas, Jerome Waßmuth, André Greiner-Petter +3
COLING 2024main

Media bias detection poses a complex, multifaceted problem traditionally tackled using single-task models and small in-domain datasets, consequently lacking generalizability. To address this, we introduce MAGPIE, a large-scale multi-task pre-training approach explicitly tailored for media bias detec…

Neural Media Bias Detection Using Distant Supervision With BABE - Bias Annotations By Experts

Timo Spinde, Manuel Plank, Jan-David Krieger, Terry Ruas, Bela Gipp, Akiko Aizawa
EMNLP 2021finding

Media coverage has a substantial effect on the public perception of events. Nevertheless, media outlets are often biased. One way to bias news articles is by altering the word choice. The automatic identification of bias by word choice is challenging, primarily due to the lack of a gold standard dat…

Aspect-based Document Similarity for Research Papers

Malte Ostendorff, Terry Ruas, Till Blume, Bela Gipp, Georg Rehm
COLING 2020main

Traditional document similarity measures provide a coarse-grained distinction between similar and dissimilar documents. Typically, they do not consider in what aspects two documents are similar. This limits the granularity of applications like recommender systems that rely on document similarity. In…
