Enhancing zero-shot stance detection via multi-task fine-tuning with debate data and knowledge augmentation by Qinlong Fan, Jicang Lu, Yepeng Sun, Qiankun Pi, Shouxin Shang

“…Abstract In the real world, stance detection tasks often involve assessing the stance or attitude of a given text toward new, unseen targets, a task known as zero-shot stance detection. However, zero-shot stance detection often suffers from issues such as sparse data annotation and inherent task complexity, which can lead to lower performance. …”
