QCRI at SemEval-2023 Task 3: News Genre, Framing and Persuasion Techniques Detection using Multilingual Models

Understand

Misinformation spreading in mainstream and social media has been misleading users in different ways.

• Manual detection and verification efforts by journalists and fact-checkers can no longer cope with the great scale and quick spread of misleading information.
• This motivated research and industry efforts to develop systems for analyzing and verifying news spreading online.
• The SemEval-2023 Task 3 is an attempt to address several subtasks under this overarching problem, targeting writing techniques used in news articles to affect readers' opinions.
