ImageArg is a shared task at the 10th ArgMining Workshop at EMNLP 2023.It leverages the ImageArg dataset to advance multimodal persuasiveness techniques.This challenge comprises two distinct subtasks: 1) Argumentative Stance (AS) Classification: Assessing whether a given tweet adopts an argumentative stance.2) Image Persuasiveness (IP) Classification: Determining if the tweet image enhances the persuasive quality of the tweet.We conducted various experiments on both subtasks and ranked sixth out of the nine participating teams.
