We invite you to participate in the shared task on Empathy and Personality Detection in interactions, organized as part of WASSA 2024 at ACL 2024. This task aims to develop models that can predict Empathy, Emotion, and Personality recognition in short text and at the speech-turn in a conversation.
Task Description
You can participate in five different tracks:
Track 1: Empathy Prediction in Conversations (CONV-dialog), which consists in predicting the perceived empathy at the dialog-level
Track 2: Empathy and Emotion Prediction in Conversations Turns (CONV-turn), which consists in predicting the perceived empathy, emotion polarity, and emotion intensity at the speech-turn-level in a conversation
Track 3: Empathy Prediction (EMP), which consists in predicting both the empathy concern and the personal distress at the essay-level
Track 4: Personality Prediction (PER), which consists in predicting the personality (openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and emotional stability; OCEAN) of the essay writer, knowing all of their essays, dialogs, and the news article from which they reacted
Note: You are free to participate in any or both tracks.
