This is a test model that was fine-tuned using the Spanish datasets from stsb_multi_mt in order to understand and benchmark STS models.

Model and training data description

This model was built taking distiluse-base-multilingual-cased-v1 and training it on a Semantic Textual Similarity task using a modified version of the training script for STS from Sentece Transformers (the modified script is included in the repo). It was trained using the Spanish datasets from stsb_multi_mt which are the STSBenchmark datasets automatically translated to other languages using deepl.com. Refer to the dataset repository for more details.

Intended uses & limitations

This model was built just as a proof-of-concept on STS fine-tuning using Spanish data and no specific use other than getting a sense on how this training works.

How to use

You may use it as any other STS trained model to extract sentence embeddings. Check Sentence Transformers documentation.

Evaluation results

Evaluating distiluse-base-multilingual-cased-v1 on the Spanish test dataset before training results in:

2021-07-06 17:44:46 - EmbeddingSimilarityEvaluator: Evaluating the model on  dataset:
2021-07-06 17:45:00 - Cosine-Similarity :	Pearson: 0.7662	Spearman: 0.7583
2021-07-06 17:45:00 - Manhattan-Distance:	Pearson: 0.7805	Spearman: 0.7772

2021-07-06 17:45:00 - Dot-Product-Similarity:	Pearson: 0.6610	Spearman: 0.6536

While the fine-tuned version with the defaults of the training script and the Spanish training dataset results in:

2021-07-06 17:49:24 - Dot-Product-Similarity:	Pearson: 0.7773	Spearman: 0.7692

In our STS Evaluation repository we compare the performance of this model with other models from Sentence Transformers and Tensorflow Hub using the standard STSBenchmark and the 2017 STSBenchmark Task 3 for Spanish.
