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
sentences = [
    'Can you explain why this might have been so?',
    'See  http://www.cs.utexas.edu/~ikarpov/Classes/RL/RandomWalk/  for an attempt at a thorough answer by Igor Karpov.',
    'We describe methods to choose the initial weights Ω k and biases β k so that training is stable.',
]
embeddings = model.encode(sentences)
print(embeddings.shape)
# [3, 384]

# Get the similarity scores for the embeddings
similarities = model.similarity(embeddings, embeddings)
print(similarities)
# tensor([[1.0000, 0.3878, 0.2539],
#         [0.3878, 1.0000, 0.2993],
#         [0.2539, 0.2993, 1.0000]])

Training Details

Training Dataset

Training Data

The model was fine-tuned using 17 reference books in Data Science and Machine Learning, including: All source books were preprocessed using GROBID, an open-source tool for extracting and structuring text from PDF documents.
The raw PDF files were converted into structured text, segmented into sentences, and cleaned before being used for training.
This ensured consistent formatting and reliable sentence boundaries across the dataset.

Unnamed Dataset

• Size: 167,112 training samples
• Columns: <code>sentence_0</code> and <code>sentence_1</code>
• Approximate statistics based on the first 1000 samples:

• Samples:

  <code>On the other hand, squared loss thinks it's just as bad to predict +3 on a positive example as it is to predict -1 on a positive example.</code>	<code>If you replace to zero/one loss with a surrogate loss, you obtain the following objective:<br><br>The question is: what should R(w, b) look like?</code>
  <code>Why does the update step set the 'mean' to the mean of the assigned points?</code>	<code>Where did the distance d come from?</code>
  <code>We start with a training set {x i } of real 1D examples.</code>	<code>A different batch of ten of these examples {x i } 10 i=1 is shown in each panel (cyan arrows).</code>
