Abstract
This paper describes the participation of QUST_NLP in the SemEval-2025 Task 7. We propose a three-stage retrieval framework specifically designed for fact-checked claim retrieval. Initially, we evaluate the performance of several retrieval models and select the one that yields the best results for candidate retrieval. Next, we employ multiple re-ranking models to enhance the candidate results, with each model selecting the Top-10 outcomes. In the final stage, we utilize weighted voting to determine the final retrieval outcomes. Our approach achieved 5th place in the monolingual track and 7th place in the crosslingual track. We release our system code at: https://github.com/warmth27/SemEval2025_Task7
