Description

Code and derived results for Beyond Aggregate Sentiment: Machine Learning-Driven Discourse Indicators for AI News at Scale. A scalable DistilBERT pipeline extracts six theory-grounded discourse indicators: valence, loss-salience, narrative drift, exposure-adjusted sentiment, cross-source divergence, and novelty-phase framing, over 671,913 topic-linked AI-news headlines (386 topics), validated against GPT-4o and a three-annotator human benchmark, and mapped to EU AI-governance instruments.
