SciBERT-NLI
This is the model SciBERT [1] fine-tuned on the SNLI and the MultiNLI datasets using the sentence-transformers library to produce universal sentence embeddings [2].
The model uses the original scivocab wordpiece vocabulary and was trained using the average pooling strategy and a softmax loss.
Base model: allenai/scibert-scivocab-cased from HuggingFace AutoModel
Parameters:
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Batch size | 64 |
| Training steps | 20000 |
| Warmup steps | 1450 |
Performances: The performance was evaluated on the test portion of the STS dataset using Spearman rank correlation and compared to the performances of a general BERT base model obtained with the same procedure to verify their similarity.
| Model | Score |
|---|---|
scibert-nli (ours) |
74.50 |
bert-base-nli-mean-tokens |
77.12 |
An example usage for similarity-based scientific paper retrieval is provided in the Covid Papers Browser repository.
