New small language model excels at extracting structured news content

Researchers have developed news-crawler-LM, a compact language model designed for efficient and accurate extraction of structured content from news articles. This model, fine-tuned using the Fundus news-crawling library, converts raw HTML into plaintext and structured JSON, including key fields like headline, author, and publication date. Experiments show that news-crawler-LM surpasses existing baselines in HTML-to-Markdown and HTML-to-JSON extraction tasks, demonstrating significant improvements in BLEU and METEOR scores. The project also makes its models and artifacts available to the research community. AI

IMPACT This model could streamline content extraction for news aggregators and researchers, reducing manual effort and improving data quality.

    news-crawler-LM: A Small Long-Context Model For High-Quality News Crawling

    arXiv:2607.21284v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Extracting structured content from news pages remains challenging due to heterogeneous HTML layouts, inconsistent markup, and substantial boilerplate such as navigation elements and advertisements. Rule-based news crawlers can achie…
