Cross-Dataset Stability of Expert-Informed Skill Prompting and Fine-Tuning for Chinese Metaphor Identification
Metaphor-identification performance can change markedly across datasets that differ in text distribution and annotation policy. We examine whether a fixed expert-informed procedure produces a more even cross-dataset profile than task-specific parameter adaptation. Four prespecified conditions are compared for Chinese sentence-level metaphor identification: BERT fine-tuning (BERT-FT), QLoRA-based large language model fine-tuning (LLM-FT), direct zero-shot LLM prompting (LLM-ZS), and zero-shot prompting with a frozen procedural Skill (Skill-ZS). The Skill operationalizes established criteria involving contextual meaning, basic meaning, contrast, and comparison. Evaluation covers CMRE Test a...
