New framework uses LLMs to boost cross-lingual stance detection for low-resource languages

Researchers have developed a new framework for cross-lingual stance detection that leverages large language models (LLMs) to improve performance in low-resource languages like Catalan. The method uses Chain-of-Thought prompting to guide LLMs in generating reasoning rationales, which are then distilled into a smaller, more efficient student model. This approach aims to overcome the computational costs and latency associated with using LLMs directly, while enhancing stance inference accuracy through a dual-path distillation mechanism and contrastive learning strategies. AI

IMPACT This research could enable more accurate stance detection in languages with limited data, improving downstream applications.

    Rationale-Guided Knowledge Distillation for Cross-Lingual Stance Detection

    arXiv:2607.18693v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Stance detection aims to identify whether a text expresses a favorable or opposing attitude toward a given target, and serves as an important task for various downstream applications. Although existing studies have achieved strong p…
