Sbert Uncased Finnish Paraphrase

🚀 Uncased Finnish Sentence BERT model

This is a Finnish Sentence BERT model trained from FinBERT, which can be used for sentence similarity tasks.

🚀 Quick Start

Finnish Sentence BERT is trained from FinBERT. A demo on retrieving the most similar sentences from a dataset of 400 million sentences using the cased model can be found here.

✨ Features

• Language: Finnish
• Pipeline Tag: Sentence Similarity
• Tags: sentence-transformers, feature-extraction, sentence-similarity, transformers

📦 Installation

The installation process is mainly about using relevant libraries. You can install sentence-transformers and transformers according to the official documentation.

💻 Usage Examples

Basic Usage

The usage is the same as in HuggingFace documentation. You can use it either through SentenceTransformer or HuggingFace Transformers.

SentenceTransformer

from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
sentences = ["Tämä on esimerkkilause.", "Tämä on toinen lause."]

model = SentenceTransformer('TurkuNLP/sbert-uncased-finnish-paraphrase')
embeddings = model.encode(sentences)
print(embeddings)

HuggingFace Transformers

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 = ["Tämä on esimerkkilause.", "Tämä on toinen lause."]

# Load model from HuggingFace Hub
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('TurkuNLP/sbert-uncased-finnish-paraphrase')
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained('TurkuNLP/sbert-uncased-finnish-paraphrase')

# 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)

📚 Documentation

Training

• Library: sentence-transformers
• FinBERT model: TurkuNLP/bert-base-finnish-uncased-v1
• Data: The data provided here, including the Finnish Paraphrase Corpus and the automatically collected paraphrase candidates (500K positive and 5M negative)
• Pooling: mean pooling
• Task: Binary prediction, whether two sentences are paraphrases or not. Note: the labels 3 and 4 are considered paraphrases, and labels 1 and 2 non-paraphrases. Details on labels
