Abstract

Polarity detection becomes substantially more challenging under domain shift, particularly in heterogeneous, long-form narratives with complex discourse structure, such as Holocaust oral histories. This paper presents a corpus-scale diagnostic study of off-the-shelf sentiment classifiers on long-form Holocaust oral histories, using three pretrained transformer-based polarity classifiers on a corpus of 107,305 utterances and 579,013 sentences. After assembling model outputs, we introduce an agreement-based stability taxonomy (ABC) to stratify inter-model output stability. We report pairwise percent agreement, Cohen kappa, Fleiss kappa, and row-normalized confusion matrices to localize systematic disagreement. As an auxiliary descriptive signal, a T5-based emotion classifier is applied to stratified samples from each agreement stratum to compare emotion distributions across strata. The combination of multi-model label triangulation and the ABC taxonomy provides a cautious, operational framework for characterizing where and how sentiment models diverge in sensitive historical narratives. Inter-model agreement is low to moderate overall and is driven primarily by boundary decisions around neutrality.

What we could verify

These are the protocol signals we could actually recover from the available paper metadata. Use them to decide whether this paper is worth deeper reading.
