Unedmediabiasteam @ SemEval-2023 Task 3: Can we detect persuasive techniques transferring knowledge from media bias detection?
SemEval @ ACL 2023, pp. 789–797, 2023. doi:10.18653/v1/2023.semeval-1.109
Abstract
How similar is the detection of media bias to the detection of persuasive techniques? We explore how transferring knowledge from one task to the other may help to improve performance. We developed systems for SemEval-2023 Task 3, participating in news genre categorization and persuasion techniques detection across 9 languages using two-stage fine-tuned multilingual models.
