Reddit dataset RoBERTa (populism and emotions) computational linguistics
by David Abadi 05 Jun '24

05 Jun '24

Dear colleagues, Herewith, I’d like to share some news with researchers interested in populism, emotions, framing, media bias and social identity. Last year, Agneta Fischer and I collaborated with colleagues from Institute for Logic, Language and Computation (ILLC) at UvA (Pere-Lluís Huguet-Cabot, Verna Dankers, Ekaterina Shutova), and recently we published two papers in the field of computational linguistics (as listed below). For our latest paper, we developed a novel deep learning NLP model based on RoBERTa (Liu, 2019) to detect populist attitudes, media bias, emotions and social identity. In the near future, our dataset (consisting of 6861 annotated Reddit comments) will be made publicly available through GitHub for the research community to be used. Huguet Cabot, P. L.
