Do Schwartz Higher-Order Values Help Sentence-Level Human Value Detection?
This paper presents a compute-bounded empirical study of whether higher-order (HO) value abstractions improve sentence-level human value detection on ValueEval'24/ValuesML.
Executive Impact: At a Glance
The study reveals HO categories are learnable but vary in reliability, with calibration and small ensembles yielding the most consistent gains. Hard hierarchical gating proves brittle due to error propagation in sparse, noisy settings, while small LLMs show potential for diversity in hybrid ensembles.

Bridging Value Detection to Ethical AI Auditing
Challenge: An enterprise needs to audit its generative AI outputs for alignment with corporate values, ensuring fair and ethical communication. Existing tools are generic and lack nuanced value detection.
Solution: Implement a calibrated transformer-based value detection system, leveraging threshold tuning and small ensembles. Instead of rigid hierarchical gating, use HO categories as an inductive bias to improve training and provide auxiliary signals without hard constraints.
Impact: Achieved more reliable and consistent detection of specific human values in AI-generated content (e.g., +0.16 Macro-F1 gain for Social Focus vs. Personal Focus with threshold tuning). This allows the enterprise to flag and refine AI outputs that deviate from desired value profiles, reinforcing brand integrity and trust.
