contents This paper presents our system for SemEval-2026 Task 9: Detecting Multilingual, Multicultural and Multievent Online Polarization, which identifies polarized social media content in 22 languages through three subtasks: binary detection, target classification, and manifestation identification. We propose a heterogeneous ensemble of multilingual pretrained models, combining XLM-RoBERTa-large and mDeBERTa-v3-base. We investigate techniques such as multi-task learning, translation-based data augmentation, and class weighting to improve classification performance under severe label imbalance. Our findings indicate that independent task modeling combined with class weighting is more effective.
