Exploring Text-transformers in AAAI 2021 Shared Task: COVID-19 Fake News Detection in English (2101.02359v1)

Abstract: In this paper, we describe our system for the AAAI 2021 shared task of COVID-19 Fake News Detection in English, where we achieved the 3rd position with the weighted F1 score of 0.9859 on the test set. Specifically, we proposed an ensemble method of different pre-trained LLMs such as BERT, Roberta, Ernie, etc. with various training strategies including warm-up,learning rate schedule and k-fold cross-validation. We also conduct an extensive analysis of the samples that are not correctly classified. The code is available at:https://github.com/archersama/3rd-solution-COVID19-Fake-News-Detection-in-English.
