Interpretation modeling: Social grounding of sentences by reasoning over their implicit moral judgments

Liesbeth Allein, Maria Mihaela Trusca, Marie-Francine Moens

Abstract: Highlights•A single unambiguous interpretation of a sentence's hidden meaning rarely exists.•The proposed task grounds sentences in society to generate multiple interpretations and conduct moral reasoning.•Social grounding of sentences is established by their underlying moral judgments and diverse reader attitudes.•One-to-one and one-to-many text generation methods adopt extra constraints to promote diverse interpretation generation.•Interpretation modeling has importance for AI-assisted content moderation since it reveals toxicity hidden in sentences.
