UNTLing at SemEval-2020 Task 11: Detection of Propaganda Techniques in English News Articles

SEMEVAL 2020  ·  Maia Petee, Alexis Palmer ·

Our system for the PropEval task explores the ability of semantic features to detect and label propagandistic rhetorical techniques in English news articles. For Subtask 2, labeling identified propagandistic fragments with one of fourteen technique labels, our system attains a micro-averaged F1 of 0.40; in this paper, we take a detailed look at the fourteen labels and how well our semantically-focused model detects each of them. We also propose strategies to fill the gaps.
