论文摘要
本文介绍了《申诉词典》,这是一部心理语言词典,可用于在不满犯罪的暴力威胁评估的背景下自动理解语言使用。我们描述了词典的开发,这是由经验丰富的威胁评估从业人员的建议所告知的。这些建议以及随后的人类和计算单词列表的生成产生了由2,318个参与者注释的20,502个单词。该词典通过将其应用于暴力和非暴力个体撰写的文本来验证,这证明了多个词典类别中人群之间差异的有力证据。进一步的分类任务显示出有希望的表现,但仍需要改进。最后,我们为安全专业人员和(暴力)研究人员提供有关使用申诉词典的说明和建议。
This paper introduces the Grievance Dictionary, a psycholinguistic dictionary which can be used to automatically understand language use in the context of grievance-fuelled violence threat assessment. We describe the development the dictionary, which was informed by suggestions from experienced threat assessment practitioners. These suggestions and subsequent human and computational word list generation resulted in a dictionary of 20,502 words annotated by 2,318 participants. The dictionary was validated by applying it to texts written by violent and non-violent individuals, showing strong evidence for a difference between populations in several dictionary categories. Further classification tasks showed promising performance, but future improvements are still needed. Finally, we provide instructions and suggestions for the use of the Grievance Dictionary by security professionals and (violence) researchers.
