LTG at SemEval-2025 Task 10: Optimizing Context for Classification of Narrative Roles

AbstractOur contribution to the SemEval shared task 10, subtask 1 on entity framing, tackles the challenge of providing the necessary segments from longer documents as context for classification with a masked language model. We show how simple entity-oriented heuristics for context selection and the XLM-RoBERTa language model is on par with, or outperforms, Supervised Fine-Tuning with larger generative language models.
