Team KiAmSo at SemEval-2025 Task 11: A Comparison of Classification Models for Multi-label Emotion Detection

AbstractThe aim of this paper is to take on the challenge of multi-label emotion detection for a variety of languages as part of Track A in SemEval 2025 Task 11: Bridging the Gap in Text-Based Emotion Detection. We fine-tune different pre-trained mono- and multilingual language models and compare their performance on multi-label emotion detection on a variety of high-resource and low-resource languages. Overall, we find that monolingual models tend to perform better, but for low-resource languages that do not have state-of-the-art pre-trained language models, multilingual models can achieve comparable results.
