# 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](https://huggingface.co/datasets/MLRS/korpus_malti/viewer/press_mt).
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.
