Maltese News Headlines

A headline-article pairs dataset for Maltese News Articles. This dataset is intended to be used for headline generation from the article content.

Data Collection

The data was collected from the press_mt subset from Korpus Malti v4.0. Article contents were cleaned to filter out JavaScript, CSS, & repeated non-Maltese sub-headings. The title and base URL features are based on the title & url fields from this corpus, respectively.
