In today’s digital era, individuals convey their feelings, viewpoints, and perspectives across various platforms in nuanced and intricate ways. At times, these expressions can be challenging to articulate and interpret. Emotion recognition aims to identify the most relevant emotions in a text that accurately represent the author’s psychological state. Despite its substantial impact on natural language processing (NLP), this task has primarily been researched only in high-resource languages. To bridge this gap, SemEval-2025 Task 11 introduces a multilingual emotion recognition challenge encompassing 32 languages, promoting broader linguistic inclusivity in emotion recognition. This paper presents our participation in this task, where we introduce a language-specific fine-tuned transformer-based system for emotion recognition and emotion intensity prediction. To enhance generalization, we incorporate a multi-sample dropout strategy. Our approach is evaluated across 11 languages, and experimental results demonstrate its competitive performance, achieving top-tier results in certain languages.
