SBERT with triplet loss achieves 80.78 accuracy on Wikipedia section triplets, outperforming Dor et al.'s BiLSTM at 74.00.
Summary
On the task of judging semantic relationships between Wikipedia section triplets, the embedding-based SBERT approach with contrastive (triplet) loss beats the earlier sequence-based BiLSTM by nearly seven accuracy points. This matters because it shows that learning good fixed representations of text units and comparing them geometrically is a stronger strategy than modeling word-by-word sequences for this kind of relationship classification.
