Pinealai at SemEval-2024 Task 1: Exploring Semantic Relatedness Prediction using Syntactic, TF-IDF, and Distance-Based Features.

AbstractThe central aim of this experiment is to establish a system proficient in predicting semantic relatedness between pairs of English texts. Additionally, the study seeks to delve into diverse features capable of enhancing the ability of models to identify semantic relatedness within given sentences. Several strategies have been used that combine TF-IDF, syntactic features, and similarity measures to train machine learning to predict semantic relatedness between pairs of sentences. The results obtained were above the baseline with an approximate Spearman score of 0.84.
