SZED at ArGuard Shared Tasks: Multi-Task Label-Attention and Cross-Modal Fusion for Arabic Hateful Meme Detection

arXiv:2610.26972v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present SZED's submission to ArGuard 2026 Track A: Arabic hateful meme detection. The task has two parts: binary classification (A1) and fine-grained multi-label tagging (A2). For A1, we fuse MARBERTv2 and CLIP ViT-L/14 embeddings, comparing concatenation, self-attention, and ensemble heads. For A2, we use a multi-task label-attention architecture with per-class query vectors and an auxiliary head for cascade calibration. We reach macro-F1 = 0.7597 on A1 and 0.3142 on A2 (averaged over 10 active classes). We report reproducibility across run
