SZED details Arabic hateful meme detection approach for ArGuard 2026 tasks

Researchers from SZED have detailed their approach for the ArGuard 2026 shared tasks focused on detecting Arabic hateful memes. Their submission for binary classification (A1) combined MARBERTv2 and CLIP ViT-L/14 embeddings, achieving a macro-F1 score of 0.7597. For the fine-grained multi-label tagging task (A2), they employed a multi-task label-attention architecture, resulting in an average F1 score of 0.3142 across 10 classes. AI

IMPACT This research contributes to the development of tools for identifying hateful content online, particularly in Arabic.
