Main Challenge

Identifying values from texts poses a complex and intricate problem. A data-driven methodology, based on natural language processing, is employed, involving the initial construction of a dataset and subsequent analysis using computational linguistic methods to identify the most effective features and techniques. Furthermore, a corpus linguistic perspective is embraced, underlining the importance of analysing language in its natural context through the use of corpora collected in the field for more reliable language analysis.
