LLM finetuning system achieves 85th percentile in conspiracy detection task

Researchers developed an mdok-style system for SemEval-2026 Task 10, which focuses on detecting conspiracy beliefs in Reddit comments. The system employed data augmentation and self-training techniques to fine-tune the Qwen3-32B model for this binary text-classification task. Achieving an 85th percentile ranking among 52 submissions, the approach demonstrated the adaptability of machine-generated text detection methods to conspiracy detection. AI
