Dark patterns are user interface designs in online services that induce users to take unintended actions.
A dataset for dark pattern detection has been constructed, consisting of 1,818 dark pattern texts from shopping sites.
State-of-the-art machine learning methods like BERT, RoBERTa, ALBERT, and XLNet have been applied to demonstrate automatic detection accuracy as baselines.
RoBERTa achieved the highest accuracy of 0.975 in the 5-fold cross-validation.
