Robust Detection of Persuasion Techniques in Slavic Languages via Multitask Debiasing and Walking Embeddings
Ewelina Ksiezniak | Krzysztof Wecel | Marcin Sawinski
Proceedings of the 10th Workshop on Slavic Natural Language Processing (Slavic NLP 2025)

We present our solution to Subtask 1 of the Shared Task on the Detection and Classification of Persuasion Techniques in Texts for Slavic Languages. Our approach integrates fine-tuned multilingual transformer models with two complementary robustness-oriented strategies: Walking Embeddings and Content-Debiasing. With the first, we tried to understand the change in embeddings when various manipulation techniques were applied. The latter leverages a supervised contrastive objective over semantically equivalent yet stylistically divergent text pairs, generated via GPT-4. We conduct extensive experiments, including 5-fold cross-validation and out-of-domain evaluation, and explore the impact of contrastive loss weighting.

Multilabel Classification of Persuasion Techniques with self-improving LLM agent: SlavicNLP 2025 Shared Task
Marcin Sawinski | Krzysztof Wecel | Ewelina Ksiezniak
Proceedings of the 10th Workshop on Slavic Natural Language Processing (Slavic NLP 2025)

We present a system for the SlavicNLP 2025 Shared Task on multilabel classification of 25 persuasion techniques across Slavic languages. We investigate the effectiveness of in-context learning with one-shot classification, automatic prompt refinement, and supervised fine-tuning using self-generated annotations. Our findings highlight the potential of LLM-based system to generalize across languages and label sets with minimal supervision.

Linguistic Suite for Polish Cadastral System

Proceedings of the Fifth International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC’06)

This paper reports on an endeavour of creating basic linguistic resources for geo-referencing of Polish free-text documents. We have defined a fine-grained named entity hierarchy, produced an exhaustive gazetteer, and developed named-entity grammars for Polish. Additionally, an annotated corpus for the cadastral domain was prepared for evaluation purposes. Our baseline approach to geo-referencing is based on application of aforementioned resources and a lightweight co-referencing technique which utilizes string-similarity metric of Jaro-Winkler. We carried out a detailed evaluation of detecting locations, organizations and persons, which revealed that best results are obtained via application of a combined grammar for all types. The application of lightweight co-referencing for organizations and persons improves recall but deteriorates precision, and no gain is observed for locations. The paper is accompanied by a demo, a geo-referencing application capable of: (a) finding documents and text fragments based on named entities and (b) populating the spatial ontology from texts.
