| contents | Babel Briefings is a novel dataset featuring 4.7 million news headlines from August 2020 to November 2021, across 30 languages and 54 locations worldwide with English translations of all articles included. Designed for natural language processing and media studies, it serves as a high-quality dataset for training or evaluating language models as well as offering a simple, accessible collection of articles, for example, to analyze global news coverage and cultural narratives. As a simple demonstration of the analyses facilitated by this dataset, we use a basic procedure using a TF-IDF weighted similarity metric to group articles into clusters about the same event. We then visualize the \emph{event signatures} of the event showing articles of which languages appear over time, revealing intuitive features based on the proximity of the event and unexpectedness of the event. The dataset is available on \href{https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/felixludos/babel-briefings}{Kaggle} and \href{https://huggingface.co/datasets/felixludos/babel-briefings}{HuggingFace} with accompanying \href{https://github.com/felixludos/babel-briefings}{GitHub} code. |
