The corpus contains approximately 7500 text spans annotated with persuasion techniques, from 222 documents that cover hotly debated topics at both international and national level.

We provide baseline models and benchmark results for detection and classification of persuasion techniques at the text-span level and sentence level, which use classic ML-based and generative AI-based models."
