bert-L6-H768-distil-denseon

This is a sentence-transformers model finetuned from google/bert_uncased_L-6_H-768_A-12. It maps inputs to a 768-dimensional dense vector space and can be used for semantic textual similarity, semantic search, paraphrase mining, 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("sentence_transformers_model_id")
# Run inference
queries = [
    'fda nicotine',
]
documents = [
    'what is salagen',
    'what is heichou',
    'what is warlock',
]
query_embeddings = model.encode_query(queries)
document_embeddings = model.encode_document(documents)
print(query_embeddings.shape, document_embeddings.shape)
# [1, 768] [3, 768]

# Get the similarity scores for the embeddings
similarities = model.similarity(query_embeddings, document_embeddings)
print(similarities)
# tensor([[0.3646, 0.3548, 0.3716]])

  Scientists test hypotheses using the scientific method. First, there is a question posed about a phenomenon. Then, the hypothesis is created about what the scientist thinks will happen when it is tested. Next, the scientist will create an experiment that will answer the question.
