Boston Calling is bringing in some of the biggest names in rock and roll -- including Rage Against the Machine and the Foo Fighters -- to headline the music festival when it returns in 2022 after being canceled twice due to the coronavirus pandemic. The acclaimed three-day music festival will return to Allston next Memorial Day, giving top billing to the iconic rock band and a lineup that includes more than 60 performers. An additional headliner will be revealed in the coming months. Eager fans can purchase a limited number of early bird three-day tickets on sale now by visiting bostoncalling.com. Foo Fighters and Rage Against the Machine were both set to headline the 2020 edition of Boston Calling before the festival was canceled due to the pandemic.

At Axel Springer, Europe's largest digital publishing house, we own a lot of news articles from various media outlets such as Welt, Bild, Business Insider and many more. Arguably, the most important part of a news article is its title, and it is not surprising that journalists tend to spend a fair amount of their time to come up with a good one. For this reason, it was an interesting research question for us at Axel Springer AI whether we could create an NLP model that generates quality headlines from Welt news articles (see Figure 1). This could, for example, serve our journalists as inspiration for creating SEO titles, which our journalists often don't have time for (in fact we're working together with our colleagues from SPRING on creating a SEO title generator). In the process of our research, we created a library called "Headliner" to generate our headlines.
