    abstract = "Controversial discourse is abundant on social media. Understanding how controversial problems are framed in online discourse is crucial for gaining insights into public opinion formation and for addressing misinformation and polarization. This paper presents a novel method for discovering and articulating framing of controversial problems, enabling the investigation of how controversy is framed across several diverse topics. The promising results, made possible by recent advances in Large Language Models, indicate that discovering framings across topics is feasible. The discovered frames offer valuable insights into how and why controversial problems are discussed on social media."
