We invite you to participate in the shared task on Empathy and Personality Detection in interactions, organized as part of WASSA 2024 https://workshop-wassa.github.io/at ACL 2024 https://2024.aclweb.org/. 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.
