Specifically, Task 1 at SemEval-2024 involves predicting the Semantic Textual Relatedness (STR) of sentence pairs. Participants are tasked with ranking sentence pairs based on their proximity in meaning, quantified by their degree of semantic relatedness, across 14 different languages. Each sentence pair is assigned manually determined relatedness scores ranging from 0 (indicating complete lack of relation) to 1 (denoting maximum relatedness). In our submitted approach on the official test set, focusing on Task 1 (a supervised task in English and Spanish), we achieve a Spearman rank correlation coefficient of 0.808 for the English language and 0.611 for the Spanish language.
