We evaluate multiple architectures, including DistilBERT, BERT-Base, DeBERTa-V3, RoBERTa, and instruction-tuned Qwen2.5 models. Qwen2.5-14B (full-shot) achieves the best performance with a Weighted F1-score of 0.80 in the detection task. Marker extraction remains challenging: while the fine-tuned LLM performs best on ``Actors,'' its limited generalization in categories such as ``Evidence'' and ``Effect'' highlights persistent semantic ambiguity."
