• Title: Gpachov at CheckThat! 2023: A Diverse Multi-Approach Ensemble for Subjectivity Detection in News Articles
• Authors: Georgi Pachov, Dimitar Dimitrov, Ivan Koychev, Preslav Nakov
• Abstract summary: This paper presents the solution built by the Gpachov team for the CLEF-2023 CheckThat! lab Task2 on subjectivity detection. The three approaches are combined in a simple majority voting ensemble, resulting in 0.77 macro F1 on the test set and achieving 2nd place on the English subtask.

• Abstract: The wide-spread use of social networks has given rise to subjective, misleading, and even false information on the Internet. Thus, subjectivity detection can play an important role in ensuring the objectiveness and the quality of a piece of information. This paper presents the solution built by the Gpachov team for the CLEF-2023 CheckThat! lab Task~2 on subjectivity detection. Three different research directions are explored. The first one is based on fine-tuning a sentence embeddings encoder model and dimensionality reduction. The second one explores a sample-efficient few-shot learning model. The third one evaluates fine-tuning a multilingual transformer on an altered dataset, using data from multiple languages. Finally, the three approaches are combined in a simple majority voting ensemble, resulting in 0.77 macro F1 on the test set and achieving 2nd place on the English subtask.

  The potential of vision and language remains underexplored in face forgery detection. There is a need for a methodology that converts face forgery detection to a Visual Question Answering (VQA) task. We propose a multi-staged approach that diverges from the traditional binary decision paradigm to address this gap.

  This paper explains the participation of team Hitachi to SemEval-2023 Task 3 "Detecting the genre, the framing, and the persuasion techniques in online news in a multi-lingual setup" We investigated different cross-lingual and multi-task strategies for training the pretrained language models. We constructed ensemble models from the results and achieved the highest macro-averaged F1 scores in Italian and Russian genre categorization subtasks.

• Ensemble Transfer Learning for Multilingual Coreference Resolution [60.409789753164944]
  A problem that frequently occurs when working with a non-English language is the scarcity of annotated training data. We design a simple but effective ensemble-based framework that combines various transfer learning techniques. We also propose a low-cost TL method that bootstraps coreference resolution models by utilizing Wikipedia anchor texts.

  Person search aims to jointly localize and identify a query person from natural, uncropped images. We exploit rich context information globally and locally surrounding the target person, which we refer to scene and group context, respectively. We propose a unified global-local context network (GLCNet) with the intuitive aim of feature enhancement.

Experimental results show that AMBER obtains gains of up to 1.1 average F1 score on sequence tagging and up to 27.3 average accuracy on retrieval over the XLMR-large model.
