Current methods for textual analysis rely on data annotated within predefined ontologies, often embedding human bias within black-box models. Despite achieving near-perfect performance, these approaches exploit unstructured, linear pattern recognition rather than modeling the structured interactions between entities that naturally emerge in discourse. In this work, we propose a graph-based framework for the detection, analysis, and classification of oppositional narratives and their underlying entities by representing narratives as entity-interaction graphs. Moreover, by incorporating causal estimation at the node level, our approach derives a causal representation of each contribution to the final classification by distilling the constructed sentence graph into a minimal causal subgraph. Building upon this representation, we introduce a classification pipeline that outperforms existing approaches to oppositional thinking classification task.

Current parameter-efficient fine-tuning methods for adapting pre-trained language models to downstream tasks are susceptible to interference from noisy data. Conventional noise-handling approaches either rely on laborious data pre-processing or employ model architecture modifications prone to error accumulation. In contrast to existing noise-process paradigms, we propose a noise-robust adaptation method via asymmetric LoRA poisoning experts (LoPE), a novel framework that enhances model robustness to noise only with generated noisy data. Drawing inspiration from the mixture-of-experts architecture, LoPE strategically integrates a dedicated poisoning expert in an asymmetric LoRA configuration. Through a two-stage paradigm, LoPE performs noise injection on the poisoning expert during fine-tuning to enhance its noise discrimination and processing ability. During inference, we selectively mask the dedicated poisoning expert to leverage purified knowledge acquired by normal experts for noise-robust output. Extensive experiments demonstrate that LoPE achieves strong performance and robustness purely through the low-cost noise injection, which completely eliminates the requirement of data cleaning.
