This paper explores semantic textual relatedness (STR) using fine-tuning techniques on the RoBERTa transformer model, focusing on sentence-level STR within Track A (Supervised). The study evaluates the effectiveness of this approach across different languages, with promising results in English and Spanish but encountering challenges in Arabic.
In this paper, we delve into the realm of detecting machine-generated text (MGT) within Natural Language Processing (NLP). Our approach involves fine-tuning a RoBERTa-base Transformer, a robust neural architecture, to tackle MGT detection as a binary classification task. Specifically focusing on Subtask A (Monolingual - English) within the SemEval-2024 competition framework, our system achieves a 78.9% accuracy on the test dataset, placing us 57th among participants. While our system demonstrates proficiency in identifying human-written texts, it faces challenges in accurately discerning MGTs.
