This paper outlines our approach to SemEval-2024 Task 4: Multilingual Detection of Persuasion Techniques in Memes, specifically addressing subtask 1. The study focuses on model fine-tuning using language models, including BERT, GPT-2, and RoBERTa, with the experiment results demonstrating optimal performance with GPT-2. Our system submission achieved a competitive ranking of 17th out of 33 teams in subtask 1, showcasing the effectiveness of the employed methodology in the context of persuasive technique identification within meme texts.
