ModaFact: Multi-paradigm Evaluation for Joint Event Modality and Factuality Detection (2025.coling-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | NLP studies have mostly dealt with factuality and modality separately . linguistic modality conveys the relationship a situation is supposed to have with respect to wishes, norms, goals, authority, etc. |
| Approach: | They propose a resource with joint factuality and modality information for event-denoting expressions in Italian. |
| Outcome: | The proposed resource is consistent with existing ones and compares classification systems trained on italy's ModaFact dataset and best-performing model. |

| Challenge: | Existing studies restrict modal expressions to a closed syntactic class . modal sense labels are vastly different across different studies, lacking an accepted standard . |
| Approach: | They propose a task where modal expressions can be words of any syntactic class and sense labels are drawn from a comprehensive taxonomy which harmonizes the modal concepts contributed by the different studies. |
| Outcome: | The proposed task is based on the Georgetown Gradable Modal Expressions corpus . it detects and classifies fine-grained modal concepts and associates them with modified events . |
Annotating Modality Expressions and Event Factuality for a Japanese Chess Commentary Corpus (L18-1)
