# **m**utual **i**nformation **C**ontrastive **S**entence **E**mbedding (**miCSE**):
[![arXiv](https://img.shields.io/badge/arXiv-2109.05105-29d634.svg)](https://arxiv.org/abs/2211.04928)
Language model of the pre-print arXiv paper titled: "_**miCSE**: Mutual Information Contrastive Learning for Low-shot Sentence Embeddings_" 



Training **miCSE** imposes alignment between the attention pattern of different views during contrastive learning. Learning sentence embeddings with **miCSE** entails enforcing the syntactic consistency across augmented views for every single sentence, making contrastive self-supervised learning more sample efficient.
