Dear All,
[Apologies for cross posting]
We would like to invite you again to participate in ValueEval, the shared task on Human Value Detection, organized as part of SemEval'23 and Touché'23.
Human values have been studied in the social sciences (Schwartz, 1994) and in formal argumentation (Bench-Capon, 2003) for decades. Within computational linguistics, not much research exists, though human values can provide context for categorizing, comparing, and evaluating argumentative statements. Use cases of automated value detection systems are, e.g.: argument strength assessment, audience-based argument generation and selection, ethical discussion overview, large- scale social science research.
The ValueEval task is: "Given a textual argument and a human value category, classify whether or not the argument draws on that category." See our ACL paper [1] and the task website (with 4 minute explanation video) for the details.
