Legal BERTimbau Sts Large Ma V3

🚀 rufimelo/Legal-BERTimbau-sts-large-ma-v3

This is a sentence-transformers model that maps sentences and paragraphs to a 1024-dimensional dense vector space, useful for tasks like clustering or semantic search.

🚀 Quick Start

This model is a sentence-transformers model. It maps sentences & paragraphs to a 1024-dimensional dense vector space and can be used for tasks such as clustering or semantic search. rufimelo/Legal-BERTimbau-sts-large-ma-v3 is based on Legal-BERTimbau-large, which is derived from BERTimbau large. It is adapted to the Portuguese legal domain and trained for STS on Portuguese datasets.

✨ Features

• Maps sentences and paragraphs to a 1024-dimensional dense vector space.
• Can be used for clustering or semantic search.
• Adapted to the Portuguese legal domain.
• Trained for STS on Portuguese datasets.

📦 Installation

Using this model becomes easy when you have sentence-transformers installed:

pip install -U sentence-transformers

💻 Usage Examples

Basic Usage

from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
sentences = ["Isto é um exemplo", "Isto é um outro exemplo"]

model = SentenceTransformer('rufimelo/Legal-BERTimbau-sts-large-ma-v3')
embeddings = model.encode(sentences)
print(embeddings)

Advanced Usage

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel
import torch


#Mean Pooling - Take attention mask into account for correct averaging
def mean_pooling(model_output, attention_mask):
    token_embeddings = model_output[0] #First element of model_output contains all token embeddings
    input_mask_expanded = attention_mask.unsqueeze(-1).expand(token_embeddings.size()).float()
    return torch.sum(token_embeddings * input_mask_expanded, 1) / torch.clamp(input_mask_expanded.sum(1), min=1e-9)


# Sentences we want sentence embeddings for
sentences = ['This is an example sentence', 'Each sentence is converted']

# Load model from HuggingFace Hub
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('rufimelo/Legal-BERTimbau-sts-large-ma-v3')
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained('rufimelo/Legal-BERTimbau-sts-large-ma-v3')

# Tokenize sentences
encoded_input = tokenizer(sentences, padding=True, truncation=True, return_tensors='pt')

# Compute token embeddings
with torch.no_grad():
    model_output = model(**encoded_input)

# Perform pooling. In this case, mean pooling.
sentence_embeddings = mean_pooling(model_output, encoded_input['attention_mask'])

print("Sentence embeddings:")
print(sentence_embeddings)

Training

rufimelo/Legal-BERTimbau-sts-large-ma-v3 is based on Legal-BERTimbau-large which derives from BERTimbau large.

Firstly, due to the lack of Portuguese datasets, it was trained using multilingual knowledge distillation. For the Multilingual Knowledge Distillation process, the teacher model was 'sentence-transformers/stsb-roberta-large', the supposed supported language as English and the language to learn was Portuguese.

It was trained for Semantic Textual Similarity, being submitted to a fine - tuning stage with the assin, assin2 and stsb_multi_mt pt datasets. (batch 8, 5 epochs 'lr': 1e - 5)
