Greek Media SLF (Sentence-Longformer)

This is a sentence-transformers based on the Greek Media Longformer model: It maps sentences & paragraphs to a 768 dimensional dense vector space and can be used for tasks like clustering or semantic search.

<!--- Describe your model here -->

Usage (Sentence-Transformers)

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

pip install -U sentence-transformers

Then you can use the model like this:

from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
sentences = ["This is an example sentence", "Each sentence is converted"]

model = SentenceTransformer('dimitriz/st-greek-media-longformer-4096')
embeddings = model.encode(sentences)
print(embeddings)

Usage (HuggingFace Transformers)

Without sentence-transformers, you can use the model like this: First, you pass your input through the transformer model, then you have to apply the right pooling-operation on-top of the contextualized word embeddings.

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('dimitriz/st-greek-media-longformer-4096')
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained('dimitriz/st-greek-media-longformer-4096')

# 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)

Evaluation Results

For an automated evaluation of this model, see the Sentence Embeddings Benchmark: https://seb.sbert.net

Training

The model was trained on a custom dataset containing triplets from the combined Greek 'internet', 'social-media' and 'press' domains, described in the paper DACL.

• The dataset was created by sampling triplets of sentences from the same domain, where the first two sentences are more similar than the third one.
• Training objective was to maximize the similarity between the first two sentences and minimize the similarity between the first and the third sentence.
• The model was trained for 3 epochs with a batch size of 2 and a maximum sequence length of 4096 tokens.
• The model was trained on a single NVIDIA RTX A6000 GPU with 48GB of memory.

The model was trained with the parameters:
