What Makes Writing Great? First Experiments on Article Quality Prediction in the Science Journalism Domain
2024
Overview
Great writing is rare and highly admired. Readers seek out articles that are
beautifully written, informative and entertaining. Yet information-access
technologies lack capabilities for predicting article quality at this level. In
this paper we present first experiments on article quality prediction in the
science journalism domain. We introduce a corpus of great pieces of science
journalism, along with typical articles from the genre. We implement features to
capture aspects of great writing, including surprising, visual and emotional
content, as well as general features related to discourse organization and
sentence structure. We show that the distinction between great and typical
articles can be detected fairly accurately, and that the entire spectrum of our
features contribute to the distinction.
