• Abstract: This paper details the CardiffNLP team's contribution to the CLEARS shared task on Spanish text adaptation, hosted by IberLEF 2025. The shared task contained two subtasks and the team submitted to both. Our team took an LLM-prompting approach with different prompt variations. While we initially experimented with LLaMA-3.2, we adopted Gemma-3 for our final submission, and landed third place in Subtask 1 and second place in Subtask 2. We detail our numerous prompt variations, examples, and experimental results.

  Subtask A is a binary classification task determining whether a text is written by a human or generated by a machine. Subtask B is to detect the exact source of a text, discerning whether it is written by a human or generated by a specific LLM. Subtask C aims to identify the changing point within a text, at which the authorship transitions from human to machine.

  We present the first shared task for detecting and analyzing code-switching in Guarani and Spanish, GUA-SPA at IberLEF 2023. The challenge consisted of three tasks: identifying the language of a token, NER, and a novel task of classifying the way a Spanish span is used in the code-switched context.

  Cross-lingual transfer of language models trained on high-resource languages like English has been widely studied for many NLP tasks. We introduce XSGD for cross-lingual alignment pretraining, a parallel and large-scale multilingual conversation dataset. To facilitate aligned cross-lingual representations, we develop an efficient prompt-tuning-based method for learning alignment prompts.

Our approach could narrow the cross-lingual sentence representation distance and improve low-frequency word translation with trivial computational cost.

The DLI training set includes 16,674 YouTube comments written in Roman script containing code-mixed text with English and one of the three South Dravidian languages: Kannada, Malayalam, and Tamil. Our results reinforce the idea that deep learning methods are not as competitive in language identification related tasks as they are in many other text classification tasks.
