PhoBERT-base — ViClickbait-2025

Fine-tuned from vinai/phobert-base for binary Vietnamese clickbait detection.

Experimental setup

• Input: headline paired with lead paragraph; no URL, source, category, publish time, image, or engagement metadata.
• Fixed 80/10/10 split using StratifiedGroupKFold with seed 42.
• Fine-tuning seeds: [42, 22, 202]; 3 epochs per seed.
• Development Macro-F1 selects checkpoints and representative seed.
• Weighted cross-entropy from training-label frequencies: True.
• Effective batch size: 8; max length: 256.

Results

Metric	Mean ± sample std
Test Macro-F1	0.7748 ± 0.0074
Test accuracy	0.7973 ± 0.0074
Dev Macro-F1	0.7760 ± 0.0105

Representative seed: 22, selected only by development Macro-F1.

Per-seed

seed	dev_macro_f1	test_macro_f1	test_accuracy
22	0.7881	0.7819	0.8041
42	0.7686	0.7671	0.7895
202	0.7714	0.7754	0.7982

Labels

• 0: non-clickbait
• 1: clickbait

Usage

from transformers import AutoModelForSequenceClassification, AutoTokenizer

model_id = "BaoNhan/phobert-base-ViClickbait-2025"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained(model_id)
title = "Tiêu đề bài báo"
lead = "Đoạn dẫn của bài báo"
inputs = tokenizer(title, lead, return_tensors="pt", truncation=True, max_length=256)
prediction = model(**inputs).logits.argmax(dim=-1).item()
print(model.config.id2label[prediction])

Dataset

• Dataset: https://doi.org/10.17632/3wc46bfcjc.1

Limitations

The dataset is small, temporally bounded to 2023–2025, and collected from eight Vietnamese news platforms. Results may not transfer to social media, other publishers, or emerging clickbait styles.
