arXiv:2009. 10277v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We propose a system for measuring hate speech on a continuous, interval-valued spectrum ranging from genocidal to supportive speech by combining supervised deep learning with faceted Rasch item response theory (IRT).
arXiv:2608. 04056v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: When people label text for sexism, they often disagree, and not because some of them are wrong: they genuinely perceive sexism differently.
ValueGraph is a graph pre‑training framework that incorporates automatically inferred moral‑value signals as soft constraints to learn contextualized user representations. By constructing post‑reply graphs, it captures both semantic and structural information and aligns users through contrastive and clustering objectives based on relative value similarity. Experiments on stance detection and Twitter bot detection demonstrate consistent improvements over strong text‑based, graph‑based, and LLM baselines, underscoring the benefit of value‑signal guidance for socially informed user modeling.
Understanding moral values in social media text offers insight into moral judgement formation, and supervised NLP models trained on crowdsourced data have achieved strong classification performance. However, most approaches simplify the problem by aggregating multiple annotators' labels into a single "ground truth", overlooking the inherent subjectivity of the task.
arXiv:2502. 08266v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Hate speech detection is a crucial task, especially on social media where harmful content can spread quickly.
arXiv:2607. 08493v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Subjective NLP tasks often exhibit systematic annotator disagreement, requiring models that represent uncertainty rather than collapse it.
