Pipelines usually begin by extracting place names with an off-the-shelf NER tool whose output goes unchecked. The authors measure how much that unexamined choice matters for German news. 3. **[How Loud Rumbles Hit Newsstands: A Data Analysis of Coverage and Spatial Bias in German News about Landslides Around the World](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/madureira-2026-loud-rumbles-hit-newsstands-data/)** *(2026)* The paper asks how German newspapers cover landslides outside Germany, and whether that coverage matches how often such disasters happen. 4. **[Listening for Ideology: Automatic Analysis of Character Speech in Historical Nazi Propaganda Films](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/ruth-2026-listening-ideology-automatic-analysis-character/)** *(2026)* Computational film studies have concentrated on images ("distant viewing"), while the sound layer, especially what characters actually say, has received little automated study. ## All works 5 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 4 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[Revisiting Uncertainty-based Query Strategies for Active Learning with Transformers ↗](https://aclanthology.org/2022.findings-acl.172/) Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics: ACL 2022 · no summary yet**Christopher Schröder, Andreas Niekler, Martin Potthast*2022 · 101 citations* 2. **[Retrieving Floods without Floodlights: Topic Models as Binary Classifiers for Extreme Climate Events in German News](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/madureira-2026-retrieving-floods-without-floodlights-topic/) [Workshop on Ecology, Environment, and Natural Language Processing](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/nlp4ecology/)**Brielen Madureira, Mariana Madruga de Brito, Andreas Niekler*2026 · 1 citation* 3.
