Abstract#==#This paper presents our approach to SemEval- 2024 Task 1: Semantic Textual Relatedness (STR). Out of the 14 languages provided, we specifically focused on English and Telugu. Our proposal employs advanced natural language processing techniques and leverages the Sentence Transformers library for sentence embeddings. For English, a Gradient Boosting Regressor trained on DistilBERT embeddings achieves competitive results, while for Telugu, a multilingual model coupled with hyperparameter tuning yields enhanced performance. The paper discusses the significance of semantic relatedness in various languages, highlighting the challenges and nuances encountered. Our findings contribute to the understanding of semantic textual relatedness across diverse linguistic landscapes, providing valuable insights for future research in multilingual natural language processing.
