Evaluation of Semantic Textual Similarity performance on the English Track 5 subset of the SemEval 2017 Task 1 dataset, typically measured using scaled Pearson correlation.

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.

| Scope | Recorded value |
| --- | --- |
| Task | Semantic Textual Similarity |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | SemEval Task 1 English Track 5 2017 |
| Metric | Pearson Correlation (R) |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 8 of 8 |
| Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark |

Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol.

## Metrics

- [Pearson Correlation (R)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/semantic-textual-similarity-on-semeval-task-1-english-track-5-2017.md?metric=Pearson%20Correlation%20(R)>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.
