We present IPN, our system for Subtask 1 of the PARSEME 2.0 Shared Task, which targets the identification of MWEs in 17 languages. Overall, IPN outperformed a much larger-parameter baseline model, yet a performance gap to the top-performing systems remains. To better understand these results, we investigate Qwen3-32B’s suitability for mono-, cross- and multilingual MWE identification. We also explore whether this model benefits from prepending automatically generated thinking data to the gold label during instruction-tuning. We find that target language data is vital for instruction-tuning. Prepending generated thinking data to a subset of the training data slightly improves performance for two out of three languages, but more detailed evaluation is required.
