ImageArg is a shared task at the 10th ArgMining Workshop at EMNLP 2023. It leverages the ImageArg dataset to advance multimodal persuasiveness techniques. This challenge comprises two distinct subtasks: 1) Argumentative Stance (AS) Classification: Assessing whether a given tweet adopts an argumentative stance. 2) Image Persuasiveness (IP) Classification: Determining if the tweet image enhances the persuasive quality of the tweet. We conducted various experiments on both subtasks and ranked sixth out of the nine participating teams.

We build a model using large multilingual pretrained language model XLM-T for regression task and fine-tune it on the MINT (Multilingual INTmacy) analysis dataset which covers 6 languages for training and 4 languages for testing zero-shot performance of the model. The dataset was annotated and the annotations are intimacy scores. We experiment with several deep learning architectures to predict intimacy score. To achieve optimal performance we modify several model settings including loss function, number and type of layers. In total, we ran 16 end-to-end experiments. Our best system achieved a Pearson Correlation score of 0.52.
