    EMONA: Event-level Moral Opinions in News Articles

    No full text
    Most previous research on moral frames has focused on social media short texts, little work has explored moral sentiment within news articles. In news articles, authors often express their opinions or political stance through moral judgment towards events, specifically whether the event is right or wrong according to social moral rules. This paper initiates a new task to understand moral opinions towards events in news articles. We have created a new dataset, EMONA, and annotated event-level moral opinions in news articles. This dataset consists of 400 news articles containing over 10k sentences and 45k events, among which 9,613 events received moral foundation labels. Extracting event morality is a challenging task, as moral judgment towards events can be very implicit. Baseline models were built for event moral identification and classification. In addition, we also conduct extrinsic evaluations to integrate event-level moral opinions into three downstream tasks. The statistical analysis and experiments show that moral opinions of events can serve as informative features for identifying ideological bias or subjective events.Comment: Accepted to NAACL 202

    No full text
    This document contains the results of our evaluation of a number of artificial social intelligence (ASI) capabilities that we hypothesized would be demonstrated in ASIST Study 3. We preregistered these capability declarations at https://osf.io/hsy32, and follow up here with results of our evaluations of these capabilities. We include the text of the preregistration, with the results appended in separate subsections, so that the reader does not need to spend additional time context-switching and cross-referencing between two documents. The preregistration section of section 10 has been updated for additional clarity
