This paper describes our system developed for SemEval-2025 Task 1, subtask A. This sharedsubtask focuses on multilingual idiom recognition and the ranking of images based on howwell they represent the sense in which a nominal compound is used within a given contextual sentence. This study explores the use of a pipeline, where task-specific models are sequentially employed to address each problem step by step. The process involves three key steps: first, identifying whether idioms are in their literal or figurative form; second, transforming them if necessary; and finally, usingthe final form to rank the input images.
