INGF: Integrated News Generation Framework with Multimodal Editing and Alignment
摘要
Recent advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) have catalyzed the emergence of automated news generation systems, with growing research interest in semantic-driven, cross-modal approaches. This paper proposes INGF (Integrated News Generation Framework), an intelligent end-to-end system for generating image-text news that integrates eight journalistic writing styles and their corresponding prompts, curated through collaboration with journalism students. Our framework incorporates image filtering and quality optimization mechanisms, enabling semantic-aware cross-modal alignment to produce image-text news. We validate INGF on the dataset of Chinese image-text news from the Communication University of China (CUC) news platform. Comprehensive evaluations through quantitative metrics and a questionnaire survey (N = 101) demonstrate effectiveness of the eight designed news prompt types and readability of the generated image-text news.
