T100: A modern classic ensemble to profile irony and stereotype spreaders

In this work we propose a novel ensemble model based on deep learning and non-deep learning classifiers. The proposed model was developed by our team for participating at the Profiling Irony and Stereotype Spreaders (ISSs) task hosted at PAN@CLEF2022. Our ensemble (named T100), include a Logistic Regressor (LR) that classifies an author as ISS or not (nISS) considering the predictions provided by a first stage of classifiers. All these classifiers are able to reach state-of-the-art results on several text classification tasks. These classifiers (namely, the voters) are a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), a Support Vector Machine (SVM), a Decision Tree (DT) and a Naive Bayes (NB) classifie…

An SVM Ensamble Approach to Detect Irony and Stereotype Spreaders on Twitter

The problem we address in this work is classifying whether a Twitter user has spread Irony and Stereotype or not. We used a text vectorization layer to generate Bag-Of-Words sequences. Then such sequences are passed to three different text classifiers (Decision Tree, Convolutional Neural Network, Naive Bayes). Our final classifier is an SVM. To test and validate our approach we used the dataset provided for the author profiling task organized by PAN@CLEF 2022. Our team (missino) submitted the predictions on the provided test set to participate at the shared task. Over several cross fold validation our approach was able to reach a maximum binary accuracy on the best validation split equal to…

Improving Irony and Stereotype Spreaders Detection using Data Augmentation and Convolutional Neural Network

In this paper we describe a deep learning model based on a Data Augmentation (DA) layer followed by a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). The proposed model was developed by our team for the Profiling Irony and Stereotype Spreaders (ISSs) task proposed by the PAN 2022 organizers. As a first step, to classify an author as ISS or not (nISS), we developed a DA layer that expands each sample in the dataset provided. Using this augmented dataset we trained the CNN. Then, to submit our predictions, we apply our DA layer on the samples within the unlabeled test set too. Finally we fed our trained CNN with the augmented test set to generate our final predictions. To develop and test our model we us…
