Abstract
This paper presents the approach we employed in SemEval-2025 Task 11: “Bridging the Gap in Text-Based Emotion Detection.” The core objective of this shared task is emotion perception, focusing on determining the emotion the speaker is likely expressing when uttering a sentence or short text fragment, as perceived by the majority. In this task, we applied a prompt optimization strategy based on in-context learning, combined with data augmentation and ensemble voting techniques, to significantly enhance the model’s performance. Through these optimizations, the model demonstrated improved accuracy and stability in emotion detection. Ultimately, in both Track A (Multi-label Emotion Detection) and Track B (Emotion Intensity Prediction), our approach achieved top-3 rankings across multiple languages, showcasing the effectiveness and cross-lingual adaptability of our method.
