Collaborative Knowledge Infusion for Low-Resource Stance Detection

Stance detection is the view towards a specific target by a given context (e.g. tweets, commercial reviews). Target-related knowledge is often needed to assist stance detection models in understanding the target well and making detection correctly. However, prevailing works for knowledge-infused sta...

description Stance detection is the view towards a specific target by a given context (e.g. tweets, commercial reviews). Target-related knowledge is often needed to assist stance detection models in understanding the target well and making detection correctly. However, prevailing works for knowledge-infused stance detection predominantly incorporate target knowledge from a singular source that lacks knowledge verification in limited domain knowledge. The low-resource training data further increase the challenge for the data-driven large models in this task. To address those challenges, we propose a collaborative knowledge infusion approach for low-resource stance detection tasks, employing a combination of aligned knowledge enhancement and efficient parameter learning techniques. Specifically, our stance detection approach leverages target background knowledge collaboratively from different knowledge sources with the help of knowledge alignment. Additionally, we also introduce the parameter-efficient collaborative adaptor with a staged optimization algorithm, which collaboratively addresses the challenges associated with low-resource stance detection tasks from both network structure and learning perspectives. To assess the effectiveness of our method, we conduct extensive experiments on three public stance detection datasets, including low-resource and cross-target settings. The results demonstrate significant performance improvements compared to the existing stance detection approaches.
