“In this paper, we present our system at CCL24-Eval Task 6: Chinese Essay Rhetoric Recognition and Understanding (CERRU). The CERRU task aims to identify and understand the use of rhetoric in student writing. The evaluation set three tracks to examine the recognition of rhetorical form, rhetorical content, and the extract of rhetorical components. Considering the potential correlation among the track tasks, we employ the unified multi-task learning architecture to fully incorporate the inherent interactions among the related tasks to improve the overall performance and to complete the above 3 track tasks with a single model. Specifically, the framework mainly consists of four sub-tasks: rhetorical device recognition, rhetorical form recognition, rhetorical content recognition, and rhetorical component extraction. The first three tasks are regarded as multi-label classification tasks, and the last task is regarded as an entity recognition task. The four tasks leverage potential information transfer to achieve fusion learning. Finally, the above four sub-tasks are integrated into a unified model through parameter sharing. In the final evaluation results, our system ranked fourth with a total score of 60.14, verifying the effectiveness of our approach.”
