Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.18653/v1/2020.wnut-1.61

In this paper, we address the problem of identifying informative tweets related to COVID-19 in the form of a binary classification task as part of our submission for W-NUT 2020 Task 2. Specifically, we focus on ensembling methods to boost the classification performance of classification models such as BERT and CNN. We show that ensembling can reduce the variance in performance, specifically for BERT base models.
