YNU-HPCC at SemEval-2025 Task 11: Bridging the Gap in Text-Based Emotion Using Multiple Prediction Headers
This paper describes the participation of the YNU-HPCC team in subtask A of task 11, Bridging the Gap in Text-Based Emotion at SemEval-2025.
Why am I seeing this Ranked on source trust — arXiv
It ranks mainly on source trust: arXiv is the most reliable outlet we track on this subject, and is the only one on the story so far.
The classifier could not identify the subject from the text, so the section was inherited from the source feed. We do not summarise what we cannot identify — this one links straight out.
Link-outLink-out, because the subject could not be identified from the text. Link-out means we point at the publisher and say nothing of our own.
| Factor | Weight | Score | Contribution | Where it came from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Corroboration | 0.35 | 0.39 | +0.135 26% | 1 independent org on the story. Tier-3 aggregators never corroborate — they can show something is circulating, never that it is true. |
| Source trustleads | 0.25 | 0.85 | +0.212 41% | arXiv is the highest-trust source on this story and is first-party — the organisation announcing its own news. Trust is taken from the best source, not averaged. |
| Pickup rate | 0.20 | 0.00 | +0.000 0% | One counted organisation, so there is no spread to measure — nothing has picked this up to set a rate. |
| Freshness | 0.20 | 0.85 | +0.171 33% | Halves every 10 hours from the newest item on the story. This is the only factor that rewards a story for nothing more than being recent. |
Corroboration counts distinct organisations, once each, and only from tiers 1 and 2. Freshness halves every 10 hours, so this ranking is a snapshot and will differ at the next build.

What happened
This paper describes the participation of the YNU-HPCC team in subtask A of task 11, Bridging the Gap in Text-Based Emotion at SemEval-2025. Our best-performing system employs the RoBERTa (Robustly Optimized BERT Approach) model, an improved version of BERT that utilizes the Transformer encoder architecture. We enhanced the output head to allow the model to process one emotion simultaneously. We obtained the official ranking score (0.44), including results from all languages. The entire dataset was translated into English using Google Translate to facilitate subsequent processing.
