arXiv cs.CL · 6 hours ago

Researchers released TikStance, a dataset of 161 TikTok videos and 13,876 comments for analyzing political stance toward Trump, Biden, and Harris during the 2024 U.S. election cycle. The dataset achieved inter-annotator agreement (Krippendorff's α) of 0.743 for Trump, 0.723 for Biden, and 0.722 for Harris using a three-class labeling scheme. This multimodal resource with hierarchical conversation structure enables development of stance detection models that consider both video content and conversational context.
