论文摘要
作为增长的NLP功能的一部分，再加上对研究的道德维度的认识，已经提出了有关是否应视为NLP研究的特定数据集和任务的问题。我们研究了有关EMNLP 2019自动法律量刑的论文的这个问题，该论文是一些辩论的根源，询问是否应该允许发表该论文，应该被指控做出这样的决定以及在什么基础上。我们特别关注数据声明在道德评估研究中的作用，同时也讨论了双重使用的主题，并研究了其他科学学科中类似辩论的结果。
As part of growing NLP capabilities, coupled with an awareness of the ethical dimensions of research, questions have been raised about whether particular datasets and tasks should be deemed off-limits for NLP research. We examine this question with respect to a paper on automatic legal sentencing from EMNLP 2019 which was a source of some debate, in asking whether the paper should have been allowed to be published, who should have been charged with making such a decision, and on what basis. We focus in particular on the role of data statements in ethically assessing research, but also discuss the topic of dual use, and examine the outcomes of similar debates in other scientific disciplines.
