Abstract
"Literary grace in Chinese composition writing is a hallmark of linguistic sophistication, often realized through various rhetorical devices. The automatic identification and analysis of rhetorical devices in essays play a crucial role in educational NLP applications, particularly for assessing writing proficiency and facilitating pedagogical interventions. Although prior research has predominantly focused on coarse-grained recognition of limited rhetorical devices at sentence level, these approaches prove inadequate for handling complex rhetorical structures and emerging educational demands. In this paper, we present the CCL25-Eval Task6: Chinese EssayRhetoric Recognition Evaluation (CERRE), a novel framework comprising three distinct evaluation tracks at the document level: (1) Fine-grained Form-level Categories Recognition, (2)Fine-grained Content-level Categories Recognition, and (3) Rhetorical Component Extraction.The evaluation has attracted 29 registered participating teams, with 8 teams submitting valid system outputs. In particular, two participating systems demonstrated superior performance by exceeding the baseline metrics in complete evaluation criteria."- Anthology ID:
