Sentence Multilingual BERT \(101 languages, cased, 12‑layer, 768‑hidden, 12‑heads, 180M parameters\) is a representation‑based sentence encoder for 101 languages of Multilingual BERT. It is initialized with Multilingual BERT and then fine‑tuned on english MultiNLI\[1\] and on dev set of multilingual XNLI\[2\]. Sentence representations are mean pooled token embeddings in the same manner as in Sentence‑BERT\[3\].
