CIA_NITT at WNUT-2020 Task 2: Classification of COVID-19 Tweets Using Pre-trained Language Models

원문 초록

This paper presents our models for WNUT 2020 shared task2. The shared task2 involves identification of COVID-19 related informative tweets. We treat this as binary text classification problem and experiment with pre-trained language models. Our first model which is based on CT-BERT achieves F1-score of 88.7% and second model which is an ensemble of CT-BERT, RoBERTa and SVM achieves F1-score of 88.52%.
