SyntaxMind at SemEval-2025 Task 11: BERT Base Multi-label Emotion Detection Using Gated Recurrent Unit

Md. Shihab Uddin Riad, Mohammad Aman Ullah


Abstract
Emotions influence human behavior, speech, and expression, making their detection crucial in Natural Language Processing (NLP). While most prior research has focused on single-label emotion classification, real-world emotions are often multi-faceted. This paper describes our participation in SemEval-2025 Task 11, Track A (Multi-label Emotion Detection) and Track B (Emotion Intensity). We employed BERT as a feature extractor with stacked GRUs, which resulted in better stability and convergence. Our system was evaluated across 19 languages for Track A and 9 languages for Track B.
