MAFALDA (Multi-level Annotated Fallacy Dataset)

Abstract

We introduce MAFALDA, a benchmark for fallacy classification that unites previous datasets. It comes with a taxonomy of fallacies that aligns, refines, and unifies previous classifications. We further provide a manual annotation of the dataset together with manual explanations for each annotation. We propose a new annotation scheme tailored for subjective NLP tasks, and a new evaluation method designed to handle subjectivity.
We then evaluate several language models under a zero-shot learning setting and human performances on MAFALDA to assess their fallacy detection and classification capability.
