Investigating the Robustness of Modelling Decisions for Few-Shot Cross-Topic Stance Detection: A Preregistered Study (2024.lrec-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing models for stance detection are not robust enough to be used in a viewpoint-diverse news recommender because the news constantly has new discussion topics. |
| Approach: | They propose to use two stance task definitions (Pro/Con versus Same Side Stance) and two LLM architectures (bi-encoding versus cross-encode) to test model performance. |
| Outcome: | The proposed models outperform the same side-stance definition and other models on stance across different topics. |
