    abstract = "Emotion detection in text has emerged as a pivotal challenge in Natural Language Processing (NLP), particularly in multilingual and cross-lingual contexts. This paper presents our participation in SemEval 2025 Task 11, focusing on three subtasks: Multi-label Emotion Detection, Emotion Intensity Prediction, and Cross-lingual Emotion Detection. Leveraging state-of-the-art transformer models such as BERT and XLM-RoBERTa, we implemented baseline models and ensemble techniques to enhance predictive accuracy. Additionally, innovative approaches like data augmentation and translation-based cross-lingual emotion detection were used to address linguistic and class imbalances. Our results demonstrated significant improvements in F1 scores and Pearson correlations, showcasing the effectiveness of ensemble learning and transformer-based architectures in emotion recognition. This work advances the field by providing robust methods for emotion detection, particularly in low-resource and multilingual settings."
