# Cross-Encoder for Quora Duplicate Questions Detection
This model was trained using [SentenceTransformers](https://sbert.net) [Cross-Encoder](https://www.sbert.net/examples/applications/cross-encoder/README.html) class.
## Training Data
This model was trained on the [Quora Duplicate Questions](https://www.quora.com/q/quoradata/First-Quora-Dataset-Release-Question-Pairs) dataset. The model will predict a score between 0 and 1 how likely the two given questions are duplicates.
Note: The model is not suitable to estimate the similarity of questions, e.g. the two questions "How to learn Java" and "How to learn Python" will result in a rahter low score, as these are not duplicates.
## Usage and Performance
Pre-trained models can be used like this:
```
from sentence_transformers import CrossEncoder
model = CrossEncoder('model_name')
scores = model.predict([('Question 1', 'Question 2'), ('Question 3', 'Question 4')])
```
You can use this model also without sentence_transformers and by just using Transformers ``AutoModel`` class
