Understand Conspiracy Thinking at its Roots
PsyCoMark brings together psychology and NLP to uncover how conspiracy theories are expressed in everyday conversations. This task introduces a novel dataset and challenges participants to go beyond topical detection: can your model recognize the structure of conspiratorial thought?
Join us in tackling two synergistic subtasks:
- Subtask 1: Extract psycholinguistic markers of conspiracy thinking (e.g., Actors, Victims, Effects).
- Subtask 2: Detect whether a Reddit comment expresses a conspiracy belief.
Unlike prior work, our data is topic-diverse, sourced from real Reddit discussions, and grounded in psychological theory.
