Reasoning for Propaganda Detection via Label-Guided CoT Optimisation

arXiv:2610.17271v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Propaganda detection systems usually operate as black boxes, lacking explanations. To address this, we hypothesise that persuasive techniques contain definitional characteristics with respect to their social-political setting. We introduce ReCoT, a reasoning-conditioned detection framework that captures definitional cues of persuasive techniques via population-level refinement and performance-guided resampling, without requiring additional explanation annotations. On INDI-PROPspan, ReCoT achieves a macro F1_LCS of 0.364, surpassing baselines and
