The paper presents a system designed to tackle SemEval-2024 Task 1: Semantic Textual Relatedness, which involves detecting the degree of relatedness between sentence pairs for 14 languages. The authors participated in two subtasks: Track A (supervised) and Track B (unsupervised), focusing on contrastive learning with BERT and a similarity metric approach for the supervised track, while exploring autoencoders for the unsupervised track. Additionally, they created a bigram relatedness corpus using negative sampling, resulting in refined word embeddings.

The paper is about a new system that helps computers understand how similar two sentences are. It’s trying to solve this problem for 14 different languages. The team worked on two parts: one where they had help from labeled data (Track A) and another where they didn’t have any labels (Track B). They used special AI models called BERT and autoencoders to make predictions. They also created a big dataset of sentence pairs with their relatedness levels, which will help improve language understanding.
