Twitter is one of the primary sources of political discussions in social media and one of the best resources to analyze Stance toward entities. This work proposes a new method toward Target-based Stance detection by using the stance of replies toward a most important and arguing target in source tweet. This target is detected with respect to the source tweet itself and not limited to a set of pre-defined targets which is the usual approach of the current state-of-the-art methods. Our proposed new attitude resulted in a new corpus called ExaASC for the Arabic Language, one of the low resource languages in this field. In the end, we used BERT to evaluate our corpus and reached a 70.69 Macro F-score. This shows that our data and model can work in a general Target-base Stance Detection system. The corpus is publicly available1.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2204.13979v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2204.13979v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"exaasc-a-general-target-based-stance","repo_url":"https://github.com/exaco/exaasc","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"stance-detection","task_name":"Stance Detection"}],"methods":[{"method_slug":"adam","method_name":"Adam"},{"method_slug":"attention","method_name":"Attention"},{"method_slug":"attention-dropout","method_name":"Attention Dropout"},{"method_slug":"bert","method_name":"BERT"},{"method_slug":"dense-connections","method_name":"Dense Connections"},{"method_slug":"dropout","method_name":"Dropout"},{"method_slug":"layer-normalization","method_name":"Layer Normalization"},{"method_slug":"linear-layer","method_name":"Linear Layer"},{"method_slug":"linear-warmup-with-linear-decay","method_name":"Linear Warmup With Linear Decay"},{"method_slug":"multi-head-attention","method_name":"Multi-Head Attention"},{"method_slug":"residual-connection","method_name":"Residual Connection"},{"method_slug":"softmax","method_name":"Softmax"},{"method_slug":"weight-decay","method_name":"Weight Decay"},{"method_slug":"wordpiece","method_name":"WordPiece"}],"datasets_introduced":[{"slug":"exaasc","name":"ExaASC","full_name":""}],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
