Task description

This is a binary classification task in which the model must determine if a user’s post discusses planning for end-of-life, possible incapacitation, and other special circumstances that would prevent a person from making decisions about their own well-being, finances, and property. This includes issues around wills, powers of attorney, advance directives, trusts, guardianships, conservatorships, and other estate issues that people and families deal with.

Task construction

This task was constructed from the LearnedHands dataset. Please see their website for more information on annotation. Our task consists of a binarized version of the original dataset, with “negatives” randomly sampled from posts with other topics. This dataset is class balanced.
