Analyzing the structure and effectiveness of news headlines using NLP

This blog was originally published on the AYLIEN Text Analysis blog. We wanted to gather and analyze news content in order to look for similarities and differences in the way two journalists write headlines for their respective news articles and blog posts. Note: For a more technical, in-depth and interactive representation of this project, check out the Jupyter notebook we created. This includes sample code and more in depth descriptions of our approach. In linguistics, a parse tree is a rooted tree that represents the syntactic structure of a sentence, according to some pre-defined grammar.
