Morality is Contextual: Learning Interpretable Moral Contexts from Human Data with Probabilistic Clustering and Large Language Models

The paper introduces COMETH, a framework that learns interpretable moral contexts from human judgments using probabilistic clustering and large language models. It builds a dataset of 300 scenarios involving six core actions and three moral rules, and employs an LLM-based preprocessing pipeline to cluster actions and scenarios. COMETH achieves roughly double the alignment with human judgments compared to end‑to‑end LLM prompting, while providing transparent explanations of the contextual features driving its predictions.
