Overview of the CLEF-2024 CheckThat! Lab Task 3 on Persuasion Techniques
We present an overview of Lab's 2024 Task 3, which is part of CLEF-2024. Task 3 focuses on building models capable of detecting 23 persuasion techniques at text-span level in online media. The task covers 5 languages, namely, Bulgarian, English, Portuguese, Russian and Slovene and highly-debated topics in the media, e.g., Isreali-Palestine conflict, Ukraine-Russia war, climate change, Covid-19, abortion, etc. 23 teams registered to the task, while 2 of them submitted system responses which were compared against a baseline and Task organizers' system using
state-of-the-art transformed-based architecture. We provide a description of the dataset and the overall task setup, including the evaluation methodology, and an overview of the participating systems. The datasets accompanied with the evaluation scripts are released to the research community, which we believe will foster the research on persuasion technique detection and analysis of online media content in various fields and contexts.
