# Dataset Card for MAFALDA-fallacies

<!-- Provide a quick summary of the dataset. -->

This is a unified fallacy classification dataset originally publishde in [github](https://github.com/ChadiHelwe/MAFALDA/tree/main) and [NAACL 2024](https://aclanthology.org/2024.naacl-long.270/).

## Citation [optional]

<!-- If there is a paper or blog post introducing the dataset, the APA and Bibtex information for that should go in this section. -->

    abstract = "We introduce MAFALDA, a benchmark for fallacy classification that merges and unites previous fallacy datasets. It comes with a taxonomy that aligns, refines, and unifies existing classifications of fallacies. We further provide a manual annotation of a part 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 capability to detect and classify fallacies."
