Leveraging deep learning to detect stance in Spanish tweets on COVID-19 vaccination.
The automatic detection of stance on social media is an important task for public health applications, especially in the context of health crises. Unfortunately, existing models are typically trained on English corpora. Considering the benefits of extending research to other widely spoken languages, the goal of this study is to develop stance detection models for social media posts in Spanish.
