# Model Card for Model ID

A rumour stance classification model, intended to classify the stance of a "reply" post with respect to the post to which it is replying.  This is a _target oblivious_ model, i.e. it considers only the reply itself, not the original target post.  It is the model underlying the [GATE Cloud Target Oblivious Stance Classifier](https://cloud.gate.ac.uk/shopfront/displayItem/target-oblivious-stance-classification).

For background, see [this paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2303.12665).

## Note about languages

This model is fine-tuned from a multilingual base model ([cardiffnlp/twitter-xlm-roberta-base](https://huggingface.co/cardiffnlp/twitter-xlm-roberta-base)), however the fine-tuning data is English-only.
