x-stance: A Multilingual Multi-Target Dataset for Stance Detection
Table 4: Baseline scores in the cross-target setting. For each test set we separately report a German and a French score, as well as their harmonic mean.
['[EMPTY]', 'q [BOLD] Intra-target de', 'q [BOLD] Intra-target fr', 'q [BOLD] Intra-target Mean px', '[BOLD] Cross-question de', '[BOLD] Cross-question fr', '[BOLD] Cross-question Mean px', '[BOLD] Cross-topic de', '[BOLD] Cross-topic fr', '[BOLD] Cross-topic Mean']
Similar to the cross-lingual setting, model performance drops in the cross-target setting, but M-Bert remains the strongest baseline and easily surpasses the majority class baselines. Furthermore, the cross-question score of M-Bert is slightly lower than the cross-topic score.
