Sren Kierkegaard at SemEval-2023 Task 4: Label-aware text classification using Natural Language Inference

Ignacio Talavera Cepeda, Amalie Pauli, Ira Assent


Abstract
In this paper, we describe our approach to Task 4 in SemEval 2023. Our pipeline tries to solve the problem of multi-label text classification of human values in English-written arguments. We propose a label-aware system where we reframe the multi-label task into a binary task resembling an NLI task. We propose to include the semantic description of the human values by comparing each description to each argument and ask whether there is entailment or not.
