Raphael at ArAIEval Shared Task: Understanding Persuasive Language and Tone, an LLM Approach

Utsav Shukla, Manan Vyas, Shailendra Tiwari


Abstract
The widespread dissemination of propaganda and disinformation on both social media and mainstream media platforms has become an urgent concern, attracting the interest of various stakeholders such as government bodies and social media companies. The challenge intensifies when dealing with understudied languages like Arabic. In this paper, we outline our approach for detecting persuasion techniques in Arabic tweets and news article paragraphs. We submitted our system to ArAIEval 2023 Shared Task 1, covering both subtasks. Our main contributions include utilizing GPT-3 to discern tone and potential persuasion techniques in text, exploring various base language models, and employing a multi-task learning approach for the specified subtasks.
