PCL

Someone uses Patronizing and Condescending Language (PCL) when their use of the language denotes a superior attitude towards someone else, or depicts them in a compassionate way, raising a feeling of pity among the audience.

pcl-roberta-base model for PCL detection

This model is trained on Don't Patronize Me! , a dataset of paragraphs extracted from media articles about vulnerable communities, published in 20 English-speaking countries or areas. The paragraphs have been manually annotated to assess if they contain any type of PCL.

This is the PCL detection model built on roBERTa-base.

• Git Repo: Don't Patronize Me! official repository
• Dataset: This model has been finetuned with the Don't Patronize Me! dataset, available here

<b>Labels</b>: 0 -> Negative; 1 -> Positive
