Zhegu at SemEval-2023 Task 9: Exponential Penalty Mean Squared Loss for Multilingual Tweet Intimacy Analysis

AbstractWe present the system description of our team Zhegu in SemEval-2023 Task 9 Multilingual Tweet Intimacy Analysis. We propose \textbf{EPM} (\textbf{E}xponential \textbf{P}enalty \textbf{M}ean Squared Loss) for the purpose of enhancing the ability of learning difficult samples during the training process. Meanwhile, we also apply several methods (frozen Tuning \& contrastive learning based on Language) on the XLM-R multilingual language model for fine-tuning and model ensemble. The results in our experiments provide strong faithful evidence of the effectiveness of our methods. Eventually, we achieved a Pearson score of 0.567 on the test set.
