LTG at SemEval-2025 Task 10: Optimizing Context for Classification of Narrative Roles (2506.05976v1)

Abstract: Our contribution to the SemEval 2025 shared task 10, subtask 1 on entity framing, tackles the challenge of providing the necessary segments from longer documents as context for classification with a masked LLM. We show that a simple entity-oriented heuristics for context selection can enable text classification using models with limited context window. Our context selection approach and the XLM-RoBERTa LLM is on par with, or outperforms, Supervised Fine-Tuning with larger generative LLMs.
