+ # German RoBERTa for Sentence Embeddings V2
20
+ **The new [T-Systems-onsite/cross-en-de-roberta-sentence-transformer](https://huggingface.co/T-Systems-onsite/cross-en-de-roberta-sentence-transformer) model is slightly better for German language. It is also the current best model for English language and works cross-lingually. Please consider using that model.**
21
+
22
+ This model is intended to [compute sentence (text embeddings)](https://www.sbert.net/docs/usage/computing_sentence_embeddings.html) for German text. These embeddings can then be compared with [cosine-similarity](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosine_similarity) to find sentences with a similar semantic meaning. For example this can be useful for [semantic textual similarity](https://www.sbert.net/docs/usage/semantic_textual_similarity.html), [semantic search](https://www.sbert.net/docs/usage/semantic_search.html), or [paraphrase mining](https://www.sbert.net/docs/usage/paraphrase_mining.html). To do this you have to use the [Sentence Transformers Python framework](https://github.com/UKPLab/sentence-transformers).
23
+
24
+ > Sentence-BERT (SBERT) is a modification of the pretrained BERT network that use siamese and triplet network structures to derive semantically meaningful sentence embeddings that can be compared using cosine-similarity. This reduces the effort for finding the most similar pair from 65hours with BERT / RoBERTa to about 5 seconds with SBERT, while maintaining the accuracy from BERT.

28
+ This model is fine-tuned from [Philip May](https://eniak.de/) and open-sourced by [T-Systems-onsite](https://www.t-systems-onsite.de/). Special thanks to [Nils Reimers](https://www.nils-reimers.de/) for your awesome open-source work, the Sentence Transformers, the models and your help on GitHub.

30
+ ## How to use
31
+ **The usage description above - provided by Hugging Face - is wrong for sentence embeddings! Please use this:**
32
+
33
+ To use this model install the `sentence-transformers` package (see here: <https://github.com/UKPLab/sentence-transformers>).
34
+
35
+ ```python
36
+ from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
37
+ model = SentenceTransformer('T-Systems-onsite/german-roberta-sentence-transformer-v2')
38
+ ```
39
+

+ - [Semantic Textual Similarity](https://www.sbert.net/docs/usage/semantic_textual_similarity.html)
43
+ - [Paraphrase Mining](https://www.sbert.net/docs/usage/paraphrase_mining.html)
44
+ - [Semantic Search](https://www.sbert.net/docs/usage/semantic_search.html)

+ - [Cross-Encoders](https://www.sbert.net/docs/usage/cross-encoder.html)

47
+
48
+ ## Training
49
+ The base model is [xlm-roberta-base](https://huggingface.co/xlm-roberta-base). This model has been further trained by [Nils Reimers](https://www.nils-reimers.de/) on a large scale paraphrase dataset for 50+ languages. [Nils Reimers](https://www.nils-reimers.de/) about this [on GitHub](https://github.com/UKPLab/sentence-transformers/issues/509#issuecomment-712243280):
50
+
51
+ >A paper is upcoming for the paraphrase models.
52
+ >
53
+ >These models were trained on various datasets with Millions of examples for paraphrases, mainly derived from Wikipedia edit logs, paraphrases mined from Wikipedia and SimpleWiki, paraphrases from news reports, AllNLI-entailment pairs with in-batch-negative loss etc.
54
+ >
55
+ >In internal tests, they perform much better than the NLI+STSb models as they have see more and broader type of training data. NLI+STSb has the issue that they are rather narrow in their domain and do not contain any domain specific words / sentences (like from chemistry, computer science, math etc.). The paraphrase models has seen plenty of sentences from various domains.
56
+ >
57
+ >More details with the setup, all the datasets, and a wider evaluation will follow soon.
58
+
59
+ The resulting model called `xlm-r-distilroberta-base-paraphrase-v1` has been released here: <https://github.com/UKPLab/sentence-transformers/releases/tag/v0.3.8>
60
+
61
+ Building on this cross language model we fine-tuned it for German language on the [deepl.com](https://www.deepl.com/translator) dataset of our [German STSbenchmark dataset](https://github.com/t-systems-on-site-services-gmbh/german-STSbenchmark).
62
+
63
+ We did an automatic hyperparameter search for 102 trials with [Optuna](https://github.com/optuna/optuna). Using 10-fold crossvalidation on the deepl.com test and dev dataset we found the following best hyperparameters:
64
+ - batch_size = 15
65
+ - num_epochs = 4
66
+ - lr = 2.2995320905210864e-05
67
+ - eps = 1.8979875906303792e-06
68
+ - weight_decay = 0.003314045812507563
69
+ - warmup_steps_proportion = 0.46141685205829014
70
+
71
+ The final model was trained with these hyperparameters on the combination of `sts_de_train.csv` and `sts_de_dev.csv`. The `sts_de_test.csv` was left for testing.
72
+
73
+ # Evaluation
74
+ The evaluation has been done on the test set of our [German STSbenchmark dataset](https://github.com/t-systems-on-site-services-gmbh/german-STSbenchmark). The code is available on [Colab](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1aCWOqDQx953kEnQ5k4Qn7uiixokocOHv?usp=sharing). As the metric for evaluation we use the Spearman’s rank correlation between the cosine-similarity of the sentence embeddings and STSbenchmark labels.
