Abstract

This contribution presents our approach for the CheckThat! 2024 Lab Task 1: Check-worthiness estimation. We focused on testing the abilities of GEITje, a large language model for Dutch based on Mistral-7B. We have experimented with different prompts varying the learning settings (zero-shot vs. few-shot) and the personas (helpful assistant vs. fact-checker). We selected our best model (helpful assistant with few-shot in-context learning) on the basis of the development data from the companion task of the CheckThat! 2022 Lab edition. We obtained a macro-F1 score of 0.657 and a F1-score on the positive class 0.594, ranking #6 out of 15 participants.
