Proceedings of the 18th International Workshop on Semantic Evaluation (SemEval-2024)

This paper presents our system and findings for SemEval 2024 Task 1 Track A Supervised Semantic Textual Relatedness. The main objective of this task was to detect the degree of semantic relatedness between pairs of sentences. Our submitted models (ranked 6/24 in Algerian Arabic, 7/25 in Spanish, 12/23 in Moroccan Arabic, and 13/36 in English) consist of various transformer-based models including MARBERT-V2, mDeBERTa-V3-Base, DarijaBERT, and DeBERTa-V3-Large, fine-tuned using different loss functions including Huber Loss, Mean Absolute Error, and Mean Squared Error.
