# Uses
## Direct Use
This model can be used for the task of feature extraction.
## Downstream Use [Optional]
More information needed.
## Out-of-Scope Use
The model should not be used to intentionally create hostile or alienating environments for people.
# Bias, Risks, and Limitations
Significant research has explored bias and fairness issues with language models (see, e.g., [Sheng et al. (2021)](https://aclanthology.org/2021.acl-long.330.pdf) and [Bender et al. (2021)](https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3442188.3445922)). Predictions generated by the model may include disturbing and harmful stereotypes across protected classes; identity characteristics; and sensitive, social, and occupational groups.
## Recommendations
Users (both direct and downstream) should be made aware of the risks, biases and limitations of the model. More information needed for further recommendations.
# Training Details
## Training Data
The model craters note in the [associatedGithub Repository](https://github.com/princeton-nlp/SimCSE/blob/main/README.md):
> We train unsupervised SimCSE on 106 randomly sampled sentences from English Wikipedia, and train supervised SimCSE on the combination of MNLI and SNLI datasets (314k).

# Evaluation
## Testing Data, Factors & Metrics
### Testing Data
The model craters note in the [associated paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2104.08821.pdf):
> Our evaluation code for sentence embeddings is based on a modified version of [SentEval](https://github.com/facebookresearch/SentEval). It evaluates sentence embeddings on semantic textual similarity (STS) tasks and downstream transfer tasks.
> For STS tasks, our evaluation takes the "all" setting, and report Spearman's correlation. See [associated paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2104.08821.pdf) (Appendix B) for evaluation details.

# Model Examination
The model craters note in the [associated paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2104.08821.pdf):
>**Uniformity and alignment.**
We also observe that (1) though pre-trained embeddings have good alignment, their uniformity is poor (i.e., the embeddings are highly anisotropic); (2) post-processing methods like BERT-flow and BERT-whitening greatly improve uniformity but also suffer a degeneration in alignment; (3) unsupervised SimCSE effectively improves uniformity of pre-trained embeddings whereas keeping a good alignment;(4) incorporating supervised data in SimCSE further amends alignment.
# Environmental Impact
Carbon emissions can be estimated using the [Machine Learning Impact calculator](https://mlco2.github.io/impact#compute) presented in [Lacoste et al. (2019)](https://arxiv.org/abs/1910.09700).
