• Abstract: This paper presents the MasonTigers entry to the SemEval-2024 Task 1 - Semantic Textual Relatedness. The task encompasses supervised (Track A), unsupervised (Track B), and cross-lingual (Track C) approaches across 14 different languages. MasonTigers stands out as one of the two teams who participated in all languages across the three tracks. Our approaches achieved rankings ranging from 11th to 21st in Track A, from 1st to 8th in Track B, and from 5th to 12th in Track C. Adhering to the task-specific constraints, our best performing approaches utilize ensemble of statistical machine learning approaches combined with language-specific BERT based models and sentence transformers.

  Subtask A is a binary classification task determining whether a text is written by a human or generated by a machine. Subtask B is to detect the exact source of a text, discerning whether it is written by a human or generated by a specific LLM. Subtask C aims to identify the changing point within a text, at which the authorship transitions from human to machine.

  We present our submission to the SemEval-2024 Task 8 "Multigenerator, Multidomain, and Black-Box Machine-Generated Text Detection" Our approach relies on combining embeddings from the RoBERTa-base with diversity features and uses a resampled training set. Our results show that our approach is generalizable across unseen models and domains, achieving an accuracy of 0.91.

  We describe our approaches and results for Task 2 of the LT-EDI 2024 Workshop, aimed at detecting homophobia and/or transphobia across ten languages. Our methodologies include monolingual transformers and ensemble methods, capitalizing on the strengths of each to enhance the performance of the models. The ensemble models worked well, placing our team, MasonTigers, in the top five for eight of the ten languages, as measured by the macro F1 score.

Our approach could narrow the cross-lingual sentence representation distance and improve low-frequency word translation with trivial computational cost.

  We describe an unsupervised method to create pseudo-parallel corpora for machine translation (MT) from unaligned text. We use multilingual BERT to create source and target sentence embeddings for nearest-neighbor search and adapt the model via self-training. We validate our technique by extracting parallel sentence pairs on the BUCC 2017 bitext mining task and observe up to a 24.5 point increase (absolute) in F1 scores over previous unsupervised methods.
