Transfer Learning for Misinformation Classification: A Deep Dive into Model Fine-Tuning and Adaptation Strategies

Project Code :TCMAPY1158

Objective

The goal of the project is to maximize the use of transfer learning approaches in the field of misinformation detection. Specifically, the deployment of sophisticated natural language processing models will be assessed and optimized for this purpose. Its specific goal is to determine the best methods for fine-tuning and adapting pre-trained models, including BERT and RoBERTa, so they may be used for the complex task of misinformation classification.

Abstract

The spread of false information presents a serious obstacle to accurate content categorization in the age of digital information overload. Using transfer learning techniques has become a viable way to tackle this problem by utilizing the knowledge of pre-trained models and modifying them for tasks related to misinformation categorization. In the framework of transfer learning for misinformation categorization, this paper undertakes a thorough investigation of several fine-tuning and adaptation methodologies. We explore the complexities of model selection, assessing the effectiveness of well-known architectures like BERT and RoBERTa in learning misleading patterns. We also examine various fine-tuning techniques, such as adapter-based, gradual unfreezing, and full fine-tuning, to determine how they affect model performance and generalization. Additionally, we look at adaptation techniques designed to lessen label shift and domain change. Noise, significant obstacles in actual deployment situations. We offer insights into the trade-offs between model complexity, adaption effort, and classification accuracy through extensive testing on benchmark datasets. Our results clarify transfer learning strategies that work well for misinformation classification and provide useful advice on how to use strong models to stop the spread of misinformation.
