Abstract

This paper introduces the result of Team Grenzlinie’s experiment in CONSTRAINT 2021 shared task. This task has two subtasks. Subtask1 is the COVID-19 Fake News Detection task in English, a binary classification task. This paper chooses RoBERTa as the pre-trained model, and tries to build a graph from news datasets. Finally, our system achieves an accuracy of 98.64% and an F1-score of 98.64% on the test dataset. Subtask2 is a Hostile Post Detection task in Hindi, a multi-labels task. In this task, XLM-RoBERTa is chosen as the pre-trained model. The adapted threshold is adopted to solve the data unbalanced problem, and then Bi-LSTM, LEAM, LaSO approaches are adopted to obtain more abundant semantic information. The final approach achieves the accuracy of 74.11% and weight F1-score of 81.77% on the test dataset.
