Cross-lingual transfer learning for fake news detection: leveraging high-resource language for low-resource adaptation

Aug 2026 · Neural computing & applications (Print) · Vol 38 · 0 citations · 40 references

TL;DR

A transfer-cum-ensemble learning framework that integrates a task-specific pretrained model (XLM-RoBERTa) with a lightweight Indian-language model (IndicBERT) with a weighted-average attention mechanism is used to combine these sophisticated language models for further enhancing performance.
