The given task was formulated as a multi-class classification problem. Our approach is based on the combination of two BERT-based classification models: One model determines whether the textual content is relevant to the task; the second model assigns it a truth value. Starting from a pre-trained model for language representation, we fine-tuned these models on the given classification task in supervised training steps using the annotated data provided.}, note = {}, institution = {Universität der Bundeswehr München, Fakultät für Informatik, INF 7 - Institut für Datensicherheit, Professur: Geierhos, Michaela}, }
