SentenceTransformer based on distilbert/distilbert-base-uncased

This is a sentence-transformers model finetuned from distilbert/distilbert-base-uncased. It maps sentences & paragraphs to a 768-dimensional dense vector space and can be used for semantic textual similarity, semantic search, paraphrase mining, text classification, clustering, and more.

Usage

Direct Usage (Sentence Transformers)

First install the Sentence Transformers library:

pip install -U sentence-transformers

Then you can load this model and run inference.

from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer

# Download from the 🤗 Hub
model = SentenceTransformer("jilangdi/distilbert-base-uncased-sts")
# Run inference
sentences = [
    'While Queen may refer to both Queen regent (sovereign) or Queen consort, the King has always been the sovereign.',
    'There is a very good reason not to refer to the Queen\'s spouse as "King" - because they aren\'t the King.',
    'A man plays the guitar.',
]
embeddings = model.encode(sentences)
print(embeddings.shape)
# [3, 768]

# Get the similarity scores for the embeddings
similarities = model.similarity(embeddings, embeddings)
print(similarities.shape)
# [3, 3]
