Abstract

Current methods for textual analysis rely on data annotated within predefined ontologies, often embedding human bias within black-box models. Despite achieving near-perfect performance, these approaches exploit unstructured, linear pattern recognition rather than modeling the structured interactions between entities that naturally emerge in discourse. In this work, we propose a graph-based framework for the detection, analysis, and classification of oppositional narratives and their underlying entities by representing narratives as entity-interaction graphs. Moreover, by incorporating causal estimation at the node level, our approach derives a causal representation of each contribution to the final classification by distilling the constructed sentence graph into a minimal causal subgraph. Building upon this representation, we introduce a classification pipeline that outperforms existing approaches to oppositional thinking classification task.

Low-signal caution for protocol decisions

Use this page for context, then validate protocol choices against stronger HFEPX references before implementation decisions.

  • Extraction flags indicate low-signal or possible false-positive protocol mapping.
  • Extraction confidence is 0.15 (below strong-reference threshold).
  • No explicit evaluation mode was extracted from available metadata.
  • No benchmark/dataset or metric anchors were extracted.
