Researchers Detail Narrative Similarity Model for SemEval-2026 Task

Researchers presented their approach for the SemEval-2026 Task 4, focusing on Narrative Story Similarity and Narrative Representation Learning. Their solution employs contrastive learning with fine-tuned sentence transformers to identify narrative similarities based on abstract themes, actions, and outcomes. The system includes two pipelines: one using a single view with smart layer freezing to prevent overfitting, and another employing a multi-view method that separately models theme, plot, and outcome with specialized projection heads and self-supervised alignment.
