Title:TTLab at StanceEval-2026: A Cloze-Style Prompting Approach for Arabic-Language Stance Detection (CLASP-Ar)
Abstract:Arabic-language stance detection remains challenging, and previous shared-task systems have largely relied on multitask learning and ensembles. While these systems achieve state-of-the-art performance, their applicability and transferability are limited by the additional complexity introduced by multitask this http URL reduce this complexity, we introduce $\texttt{CLASP-Ar}$, which reformulates the task as cloze-style masked language modeling. In this approach, the target, predicted sentiment, and text are combined into a single prompt whose $\texttt{[MASK]}$ prediction is restricted to a verbalizer-constrained label vocabulary.
