Do Schwartz Higher-Order Values Help Sentence-Level Human Value Detection? A Study of Hierarchical Gating and Calibration

arXiv:2602.00913v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Human value detection from single sentences is a sparse, imbalanced multi-label task. We study whether Schwartz higher-order (HO) categories help this setting on ValueEval'24 / ValuesML (74K English sentences) under a compute-frugal budget. Rather than proposing a new architecture, we compare direct supervised transformers, hard HO$\rightarrow$values pipelines, Presence$\rightarrow$HO$\rightarrow$values cascades, compact instruction-tuned
