MeVer team tackling Corona virus and 5G conspiracy using ensemble classification based on BERT
- 1. MeVer team tackling Corona virus and 5G conspiracy using ensemble classification based on BERT Olga Papadopoulou Giorgos Kordopatis-Zilos Symeon Papadopoulos FakeNews: Corona virus and 5G conspiracy
- 2. Motivation • Imbalanced and relatively small dataset • 5G-Conspiracy: 1,335 • Other-Conspiracy: 712 • No-Conspiracy: 4,198 • Sub-sample majority classes • Ensemble learning of multiple classification networks • Two-stage classification approach
- 3. Proposed Approach CL2 CL1 CLN 5G and other conspiracy samples No conspiracy Random sampling Step 1 Step 2 Majority vote Final Predictions CLf1 CLf2 No conspiracy detections Conspiracy detections CLf1 = CLf2 = 1 1: 5G Conspiracy 2: Other conspiracy 3: Non-Conspiracy 1: 5G Conspiracy 2: Other conspiracy Yes No 5G Other All samples ... Σ(C𝐿i) > 𝑁 2 Yes No 1: Conspiracy 0: Non-conspiracy • Sub-sample Non-conspiracy class • Binary classification • Majority voting
- 4. Results Method MCC Three-class BERT 0,42 Proposed approach 0,81 Our proposed approach achieved a score of 0.413 in terms of MCC on the provided testing set of unseen tweets.
