Very cool idea! I have the impression that Transformer sentence embeddings are a bit neglected since Sentence-BERT and so…I’m interested to join this project!
Useful info about me:

I’m a young AI researcher working in Indigo.ai, a little company based in Italy and focused on conversational AI
I have experience with the  Transformers library, but I never used JAX. I think that this project could be an occasion for me to gain confidence whith this library, so I would like to work on the training script for this project, but obviously I’m open to other tasks! 

If you want to know my time zone…I live in Italy! 


Just one question: what’s the idea to train this model? It seems that you only need couples of similar sentences, right? No negative examples (sentences with different meanings) are required?
