This poses a challenge for automated data-to-text news generation with real-world news corpora as training data. We report on the development of a corpus of Finnish ice hockey news, edited to be suitable for training of end-to-end news generation methods, as well as demonstrate generation of text, which was judged by journalists to be relatively close to a viable product. The new dataset and system source code are available for research purposes at https://github.com/scoopmatic/finnish-hockey-news-generation-paper.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1910.01863v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/1910.01863v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"template-free-data-to-text-generation-of","repo_url":"https://github.com/scoopmatic/finnish-hockey-news-generation-paper","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":{"status":"ok","spdx":"Apache-2.0"}}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"articles","task_name":"Articles"},{"task_slug":"data-to-text-generation","task_name":"Data-to-Text Generation"},{"task_slug":"news-generation","task_name":"News Generation"},{"task_slug":"text-generation","task_name":"Text Generation"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[{"slug":"ice-hockey-news-dataset","name":"Ice Hockey News Dataset","full_name":""}],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":"https://syntology.ai/paper/1910.01863","atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=1910.01863","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
