niksss at SemEval-2022 Task 7: Transformers for Grading the Clarifications on Instructional Texts

Abstract

This paper describes the 9th place system description for SemEval-2022 Task 7. The goal of this shared task was to develop computational models to predict how plausible a clarification made on an instructional text is. This shared task was divided into two Subtasks A and B. We attempted to solve these using various transformers-based architecture under different regime. We initially treated this as a text2text generation problem but comparing it with our recent approach we dropped it and treated this as a text-sequence classification and regression depending on the Subtask.
