Stance Detection

96 papers with code • 20 benchmarks • 29 datasets

Stance detection is the extraction of a subject's reaction to a claim made by a primary actor. It is a core part of a set of approaches to fake news assessment.

Example:

  • Source: "Apples are the most delicious fruit in existence"
  • Reply: "Obviously not, because that is a reuben from Katz's"
  • Stance: deny
