ITF-NLP at SemEval-2025 Task 11 An Exploration of English and German Multi-label Emotion Detection using Fine-tuned Transformer Models

AbstractWe present our submission to Task 11, Bridging the Gap in Text-Based Emotion Detection, of the 19th International Workshop on Semantic Evaluation (SemEval) 2025. We participated in track A, multi-label emotion detection, in both German and English. Our approach is based on fine-tuning transformer models for each language, and our models achieve a Macro F1 of 0.75 and 0.62 for English and German respectively. Furthermore, we analyze the data available for training to gain insight into the model predictions.
