• Abstract: Vaccination is important to minimize the risk and spread of various diseases. In recent years, vaccination has been a key step in countering the COVID-19 pandemic. However, many people are skeptical about the use of vaccines for various reasons, including the politics involved, the potential side effects of vaccines, etc. The goal in this task is to build an effective multi-label classifier to label a social media post (particularly, a tweet) according to the specific concern(s) towards vaccines as expressed by the author of the post. We tried three different models-(a) Supervised BERT-large-uncased, (b) Supervised HateXplain model, and (c) Zero-Shot GPT-3.5 Turbo model. The Supervised BERT-large-uncased model performed best in our case. We achieved a macro-F1 score of 0.66, a Jaccard similarity score of 0.66, and received the sixth rank among other submissions.

• Decoding Concerns: Multi-label Classification of Vaccine Sentiments in Social Media [0.0]
  The recent COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted how vaccines play a crucial role in keeping us safe. The paper addresses the challenge of comprehensively understanding and categorizing these diverse concerns expressed in the context of vaccination. Our focus is on developing a robust multi-label of assigning specific concern labels tweets based on the articulated apprehensions towards vaccines.

  This paper presents a classification model for detecting COVID-19 vaccination related search queries. We propose a novel approach of considering dense features as memory tokens that the model can attend to. We show that this new modeling approach enables a significant improvement to the Vaccine Search Insights (VSI) task.

  Anti-vaccination increases in social media can help institutions determine the strategy to be used in combating anti-vaccination. Recording and tracking every tweet entered with human labor would be inefficient. A deep learning-based natural language processing (NLP) model was used to determine the intervals in which anti-vaccine tweets are concentrated.

  Administering COVID-19 vaccines at a societal scale has been deemed as the most appropriate way to defend against the COVID-19 pandemic. This global vaccination drive naturally fueled a possibility of Pro-Vaxxers and Anti-Vaxxers strongly expressing their supports and concerns regarding the vaccines on social media platforms. The goal of this work is to improve this understanding using the lens of Twitter-discourse data.

• Classifying vaccine sentiment tweets by modelling domain-specific representation and commonsense knowledge into context-aware attentive GRU [9.8215089151757]
  Vaccine hesitancy and refusal can create clusters of low vaccine coverage and reduce the effectiveness of vaccination programs. Social media provides an opportunity to estimate emerging risks to vaccine acceptance by including geographical location and detailing vaccine-related concerns. Methods for classifying social media posts, such as vaccine-related tweets, use language models (LMs) trained on general domain text. We present a novel end-to-end framework consisting of interconnected components that use domain-specific LM trained on vaccine-related tweets and models commonsense knowledge into a bidirectional gated recurrent network (CK-BiGRU) with context-aware attention.
