How can i use two textual inputs for GPT2 based regression model effectively?

Question

I have a GPT2 based model with a modified final layer to predict a numarical output. It was designed to predict certain numarical value for a given input text sequance. However when it comes to my implemntation I got a requeirement to consider two seperate textual inputs (In same context) for the prediction.

The model :

from transformers.modeling_outputs import SequenceClassifierOutputWithPast
import torch.nn as nn
from transformers import GPT2Model, GPT2PreTrainedModel
import torch


class GPT2ForSequenceClassification(GPT2PreTrainedModel):
    _keys_to_ignore_on_load_missing = [r"h\.\d+\.attn\.masked_bias", r"lm_head\.weight"]

    def __init__(self, config):
        super().__init__(config)
        self.num_labels = config.num_labels
        self.transformer = GPT2Model(config)
        self.dense1 = nn.Linear(config.n_embd, 4 * config.n_embd, bias=False)
        self.dense2 = nn.Linear(4 * config.n_embd, config.n_embd, bias=False)
        self.score = nn.Linear(config.n_embd, self.num_labels, bias=False)

        self.init_weights()

The dataset : Sample of a dataset

I concatenated the two textual inputs (text1 and text2) in the dataset and trained the model. And I would like to know if instead of raw data concatenation, usage of the model ensembling techniques such as stacking/bagging or Multitask learning for this situation going to add some additional benefit to the accuracy of the model.
