The Hateful Memes Challenge Next Move
share
State-of-the-art image and text classification models, such as Convolutional Neural Networks and Transformers, have long been able to classify their respective unimodal reasoning satisfactorily with accuracy close to or exceeding human accuracy. However, images embedded with text, such as hateful memes, are hard to classify using unimodal reasoning when difficult examples, such as benign confounders, are incorporated into the data set. We attempt to generate more labeled memes in addition to the Hateful Memes data set from Facebook AI, based on the framework of a winning team from the Hateful Meme Challenge. To increase the number of labeled memes, we explore semi-supervised learning using pseudo-labels for newly introduced, unlabeled memes gathered from the Memotion Dataset 7K. We find that the semi-supervised learning task on unlabeled data required human intervention and filtering and that adding a limited amount of new data yields no extra classification performance.
