What Does Perspectivism Mean? An Ethical and Methodological Countercriticism

Mathieu Valette


Abstract
In this paper, we address the epistemological and ethical break of perspectivism in NLP. First, we propose to consider data annotation from the point of view of the scientific management of annotation work - which is part of the automation process inherent in NLP, in order to ideologically situate the perspectivist paradigm. We then analyze some of the concepts of perspectivism (in particular, truth). Finally, based on this analysis, we formulate a set of proposals aimed at overcoming the observed limitations of corpus annotation in general and perspectivism in particular.
