• Title: E2MoCase: A Dataset for Emotional, Event and Moral Observations in News Articles on High-impact Legal Cases
• Authors: Candida M. Greco, Lorenzo Zangari, Davide Picca, Andrea Tagarelli,
• Abstract summary: E2MoCase is a novel dataset designed to facilitate the integrated analysis of emotions, moral values, and events within legal narratives and media coverage. By leveraging advanced models for emotion detection, moral value identification, and event extraction, E2MoCase offers a multi-dimensional perspective on how legal cases are portrayed in news articles.

• Abstract: The way media reports on legal cases can significantly shape public opinion, often embedding subtle biases that influence societal views on justice and morality. Analyzing these biases requires a holistic approach that captures the emotional tone, moral framing, and specific events within the narratives. In this work we introduce E2MoCase, a novel dataset designed to facilitate the integrated analysis of emotions, moral values, and events within legal narratives and media coverage. By leveraging advanced models for emotion detection, moral value identification, and event extraction, E2MoCase offers a multi-dimensional perspective on how legal cases are portrayed in news articles.

• MOKA: Moral Knowledge Augmentation for Moral Event Extraction [7.8192232188516115]
  News media often strive to minimize explicit moral language in news articles, yet most articles are dense with moral values as expressed through the reported events themselves. To study this phenomenon, we annotate a new dataset, MORAL EVENTS, consisting of 5,494 structured event annotations on 474 news articles by diverse US media across the political spectrum. We propose MOKA, a moral event extraction framework with MOral Knowledge Augmentation, which leverages knowledge derived from moral words and moral scenarios to produce structural representations of morality-bearing events.

  In common law, the outcome of a new case is determined mostly by precedent cases, rather than existing statutes. We are the first to approach this question by comparing two longstanding jurisprudential views. We find that the precedent's arguments share 0.38 nats of information with the case's outcome, whereas precedent's facts only share 0.18 nats of information.
