A new framework for computational meme analysis leverages meme templates, building the Know Your Meme Knowledge Base (KYMKB) and a Template-Aware Splitter (TSplit) to enhance understanding. The framework significantly improves model robustness and sample efficiency in meme classification tasks, achieving state-of-the-art F1 scores on several datasets even with reduced training data.
Key insights
- Meme templates provide a discernible semantic signal that is useful for meme understanding, allowing robust matching of diverse meme instances to their base templates.
- Controlling for 'templateness' during dataset splitting via TSplit significantly promotes the learning of generalized meme knowledge, enhancing model robustness and preventing conceptual leakage between splits.
- Leveraging meme-specific knowledge bases like KYMKB enables more effective and sample-efficient learning, achieving comparable or superior performance with considerably less training data.
