Model Description

bert-base-german-cased_cimt-argument-subjectivity-2 is a fine-tuned BERT model that is built to predict how subjective annotators perceive the concreteness of argumentative utterances in urban planning processes. It has been trained to recognize 2 classes: rather subjective (LABEL_1) and rather objective (LABEL_0).

Specifically, this model is a bert-base-german-cased that was fine-tuned on the deviation of annotation decisions in https://github.com/juliaromberg/cimt-argument-concreteness-dataset.

Background

This work is based on research in the project CIMT, which investigates the chances and challenges of involving citizens in political decisions in the context of sustainable mobility transitions. (for more information, visit https://www.cimt-hhu.de/en/)

    abstract = "Although argumentation can be highly subjective, the common practice with supervised machine learning is to construct and learn from an aggregated ground truth formed from individual judgments by majority voting, averaging, or adjudication. This approach leads to a neglect of individual, but potentially important perspectives and in many cases cannot do justice to the subjective character of the tasks. One solution to this shortcoming are multi-perspective approaches, which have received very little attention in the field of argument mining so far. In this work we present PerspectifyMe, a method to incorporate perspectivism by enriching a task with subjectivity information from the data annotation process. We exemplify our approach with the use case of classifying argument concreteness, and provide first promising results for the recently published CIMT PartEval Argument Concreteness Corpus.",
