UBC-NLP at SemEval-2019 Task 4: Hyperpartisan News Detection With Attention-Based Bi-LSTMs

We present our deep learning models submitted to the SemEval-2019 Task 4 competition focused at Hyperpartisan News Detection. We acquire best results with a Bi-LSTM network equipped with a self-attention mechanism. Among 33 participating teams, our submitted system ranks top 7 (65.3{\%} accuracy) on the {`}labels-by-publisher{'} sub-task and top 24 out of 44 teams (68.3{\%} accuracy) on the {`}labels-by-article{'} sub-task (65.3{\%} accuracy). We also report a model that scores higher than the 8th ranking system (78.5{\%} accuracy) on the {`}labels-by-article{'} sub-task.
