The 5th Touché lab on argumentation will take place during the 15th CLEF Conference 2024 on 9-12 September 2024 at the University of Grenoble Alpes. Three shared tasks will be organised, including Ideology and Power Identification in Parliamentary Debates.

This task consists of two subtasks on identifying two important aspects of a speaker in parliamentary debates:

  1. Given a parliamentary speech in one of several languages, identify the ideology of the speaker's party.
  2. Given a parliamentary speech in one of several languages, identify whether the speaker's party is currently governing or in opposition.

The data for this task comes from ParlaMint, a multilingual comparable corpora of parliamentary debates.
