r/AmItheA*hole
(AITA) is a community where users seek judgment on whether their actions were the A*hole
or not. Posts are classified as either negative (the A*hole
) or positive (not the A*hole
).
This project aligns with stance detection, which involves classifying text as expressing favor, opposition, or neutrality. Stance detection has been studied in social media platforms like Twitter. Additionally, morality classification, which involves assessing the ethical or moral stance of a text, is closely related to this work.
Our project falls in a similar category, which aims to build a morality classifier and generate explanations for why a post was classified as "the A*hole
" or not.
