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's AutoModel.

Training time: ~4 hours on the NVIDIA Tesla P100 GPU provided in Kaggle Notebooks.

Parameters:

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.

An example usage for similarity-based scientific paper retrieval is provided in the Covid Papers Browser repository.
