A paper introduces an LLM-based architecture to detect and quantify the intensity of human values in text, avoiding previous limitations tied to specific value theory or complex prompt engineering. The architecture uses three coordinated modules: one generates structured value specifications from foundational texts of any theoretical framework; one labels texts using those specifications; and one assigns graded support or resistance based on rhetorical and semantic evidence. When instantiated with multiple LLMs and evaluated on the ValueEval dataset, the experiments demonstrate good detection performance.
- Three-module architecture: specification generation, text labeling, and graded intensity assignment.
- Evaluated on the ValueEval dataset using multiple LLMs, showing strong detection performance.
- Tailorable to any value theory without complex prompt engineering or framework-specific constraints.
Why It Matters
Enables autonomous systems to ethically reason about human values from text, improving alignment with societal norms.
