Abstract
We introduce ArchiMeDe, a multimodal neural network-based architecture used to solve the DANKMEMES meme detections subtask at the 2020 EVALITA campaign. The system incorporates information from visual and textual sources through a multimodal neural ensemble to predict if input images and their respective metadata are memes or not. Each pre-trained neural network in the ensemble is first fine-tuned individually on the training dataset to perform domain adaptation. Learned text and visual representations are then concatenated to obtain a single multimodal embedding, and the final prediction is performed through majority voting by all networks in the ensemble.
