Challenge: Existing work on cross-lingual stance detection has ignored the inconsistency in the occurrences and distributions of targets between languages, which consequently degrades the performance of stance detector in low-resource languages.
Approach: They propose a fine-grained method which considers both target-level associations and language-level alignments to learn the in-language and cross-language associations.
Outcome: The proposed method is compared with competing methods under variant settings and shows that it performs better in low-resource languages.
