When Robots Show Up in the Newsroom
summary
Describes two Automated Journalism systems built at Globo: Numerólogos, which uses a simplified NLG pipeline, a football championship ontology, event grouping/sequence planning via an optimization model, and a Branch-and-Bound template selection step to auto-generate match-highlight articles; and Aida, which computes precise candidate trajectories and ties from polling data to auto-generate broadcast-ready election result summaries, with an internal template language and estimated labor savings (≈370 hours per election year).
