Explainable Patterns for Distinction and Prediction of Moral Judgement on Reddit
Not on the map. Why?
Abstract (arXiv)
The forum r/AmITheAsshole in Reddit hosts discussion on moral issues based on concrete narratives presented by users. Existing analysis of the forum focuses on its comments, and does not make the underlying data publicly available. In this paper we build a new dataset of comments and also investigate the classification of the posts in the forum. Further, we identify textual patterns associated with the provocation of moral judgement by posts, with the expression of moral stance in comments, and with the decisions of trained classifiers of posts and comments.
