# ETHICS Dataset

### Paper

Pointer Sentinel Mixture Models
https://arxiv.org/pdf/1609.07843.pdf

The ETHICS dataset is a benchmark that spans concepts in justice, well-being,
duties, virtues, and commonsense morality. Models predict widespread moral
judgments about diverse text scenarios. This requires connecting physical and
social world knowledge to value judgements, a capability that may enable us
to steer chatbot outputs or eventually regularize open-ended reinforcement
learning agents.
