Amsqr at SemEval-2022 Task 4: Towards AutoNLP via Meta-Learning and Adversarial Data Augmentation for PCL Detection
This paper describes the use of AutoNLP techniques applied to the detection of patronizing and condescending language (PCL) in a binary classification scenario. The proposed approach combines meta-learning, in order to identify the best performing combination of deep learning architectures, with the synthesis of adversarial training examples; thus boosting robustness and model generalization. A submission from this system was evaluated as part of the first sub-task of SemEval 2022 - Task 4 and achieved an F1 score of 0.57%, which is 16 percentage points higher than the RoBERTa baseline provided by the organizers.
