PATeam at SemEval-2025 Task 9: LLM-Augmented Fusion for AI-Driven Food Safety Hazard Detection

AbstractThis paper introduces the approach we adopted for the SemEval-2025 “Food Hazard Detection” task, which aims to predict coarse-grained categories (such as “product category” and “hazard category”) and fine-grained vectors (such as specific products like “ice cream” or hazards like “salmonella”) from noisy, long-tailed text data.To address the issues of dirty data, as well as the severe long-tail distribution of text labels and length in the data, we proposed a pipeline system. This system combines data cleaning, LLM-based enhancement, label resampling, and ensemble learning to tackle data sparsity and label imbalance problems.The two subtasks have strong semantic relatedness. By integrating them into a unified multiturn dialogue framework, we fine-tuned five models using a bagging approach. Ultimately, we achieved good results in both subtasks, ranking 5th (with an F1 score of 80.17% for ST1 and 52.66% for ST2).
