Few-Shot Cross-Lingual Stance Detection with Sentiment-Based Pre-Training

1 code implementation13 Sep 2021 Momchil Hardalov, Arnav Arora, Preslav Nakov, Isabelle Augenstein

Most research in stance detection, however, has been limited to working with a single language and on a few limited targets, with little work on cross-lingual stance detection.

Diable: Efficient Dialogue State Tracking as Operations on Tables

1 code implementation26 May 2023 Pietro Lesci, Yoshinari Fujinuma, Momchil Hardalov, Chao Shang, Yassine Benajiba, Lluis Marquez

Sequence-to-sequence state-of-the-art systems for dialogue state tracking (DST) use the full dialogue history as input, represent the current state as a list with all the slots, and generate the entire state from scratch at each dialogue turn.

CrowdChecked: Detecting Previously Fact-Checked Claims in Social Media

1 code implementation10 Oct 2022 Momchil Hardalov, Anton Chernyavskiy, Ivan Koychev, Dmitry Ilvovsky, Preslav Nakov

Thus, an interesting approach has emerged: to perform automatic fact-checking by verifying whether an input claim has been previously fact-checked by professional fact-checkers and to return back an article that explains their decision.
