Modelling regulatory focus and deception in text for style transfer

In the talk, I will present my research on automatically detecting regulatory focus and deceptive intent in text, and discuss the challenges involved. Also, give an introduction to our novel German deception corpus, designed to study the interplay between authors' beliefs, factual accuracy, and intent to deceive in argumentation. Lastly, I outline my plans to use these concepts to conduct text style transfer to craft persuasive arguments for more effective communication.
