DistilUSE Podcast Natural Questions

This is a sentence-transformers model built for asymmetric semantic search of Podcast episodes. It replicates the fine-tuning process of Spotify's podcast search model, as described here.

Usage (Sentence-Transformers)

Using this model becomes easy when you have sentence-transformers installed:

pip install -U sentence-transformers

Then you can use the model like this:

from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
sentences = ["podcast about climate change", "how to make money on the internet"]

model = SentenceTransformer('pinecone/distiluse-podcast-nq')
embeddings = model.encode(sentences)

Training

The model was trained with the parameters:

DataLoader:

sentence_transformers.datasets.NoDuplicatesDataLoader.NoDuplicatesDataLoader of length 3748 with parameters:

{'batch_size': 64}

Loss:

sentence_transformers.losses.MultipleNegativesRankingLoss.MultipleNegativesRankingLoss with parameters:

{'scale': 20.0, 'similarity_fct': 'cos_sim'}

Parameters of the fit()-Method:
