# metarank/ce-esci-MiniLM-L6-v2

This is a [sentence-transformers](https://www.SBERT.net) model: It maps sentences & paragraphs to a 384 dimensional dense vector space and can be used for tasks like clustering or semantic search.

A [cross-encoder/ms-marco-MiniLM-L-6-v2](https://huggingface.co/sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2) model fine-tuned on 
[Amazon ESCI dataset](https://github.com/amazon-science/esci-data).

## Usage (Sentence-Transformers)

Using this model becomes easy when you have [sentence-transformers](https://www.SBERT.net) installed:

```
pip install -U sentence-transformers
```

Then you can use the model like this:

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

model = SentenceTransformer('metarank/esci-MiniLM-L6-v2')
embeddings = model.encode(sentences)
print(embeddings)
```

## Training
The model was trained with the parameters:

**DataLoader**:

`torch.utils.data.dataloader.DataLoader` of length 769 with parameters:
```
{'batch_size': 128, 'sampler': 'torch.utils.data.sampler.RandomSampler', 'batch_sampler': 'torch.utils.data.sampler.BatchSampler'}
```

**Loss**:

`sentence_transformers.losses.MultipleNegativesRankingLoss.MultipleNegativesRankingLoss` with parameters:
  ```
  {'scale': 20.0, 'similarity_fct': 'cos_sim'}
  ```
