Abstract
This paper presents our approaches for three subtasks in SemEval-2025 Task 10, which focus on entity framing, narrative classification, and narrative extraction in new analysis respectively. We propose a two-stage news analytical framework for both Subtask A and B. In Subtask A (Entity Framing), we design an entity-oriented data processing pipeline to address the issue of redundant information in a news article, and explore effective use of multilingual datasets through sufficient experiments. The system achieves the first place in Bulgarian and the second place in English and Portuguese. In Subtask B (Narrative Classification), a similar narrative-oriented data processing pipeline is adopted to obtain condensed news chunks for each narrative. We conduct in-depth discussion regarding approaches to enhancing both data quality and volume, and explore one-vs-rest classification models and sequence prediction models for multi-label classification tasks. The system ranks first in Bulgarian and second in Russian and Portuguese. In Subtask 3 (Narrative Extraction), we build our system with data augmentation, supervised fine-tuning, and preference-based reinforcement learning. This system achieves the first place in Bulgarian, Russian and Hindi and the second place in Portuguese.
