The pretrained model BERT-Political-Election-2020-Twitter-MLM can be used for other stance detection scene such as the SemEval-2016 Task 6 Sub-task A instead of the US Political Election?

Hello @FlyGreyWolf , sorry for taking too long to see this but this was the work during my PhD study so I did not get back to check this repo often.

To answer your question, I'd say that you can try but I believe that the word distribution between the 2 elections (2020 vs 2016) is very different and the main candidates were also different people, hence, maybe not the best choice for 2016 data.
