Abstract#==#In this system paper for SemEval-2024 Task 1 subtask A, we present our approach to evaluating the semantic relatedness of sentence pairs in nine languages. We use a mix of statistical methods combined with fine-tuned BERT transformer models for English and use the same model and machine-translated data for the other languages. This simplistic approach shows consistently reliable scores and achieves above-average rank in all languages.
