# ModernBERT Cross-Encoder: Natural Language Inference (NLI) |
|
|
|
This cross encoder performs sequence classification for contradiction/neutral/entailment labels. This has |
|
drop-in compatibility with comparable sentence transformers cross encoders. |
|
|
|
I trained this model by initializaing the ModernBERT-base weights from the brilliant `tasksource/ModernBERT-base-nli` |
|
zero-shot classification model. Then I trained it with a batch size of 64 using the `sentence-transformers` AllNLI |
|
dataset. |
|

|
## Features |
|
- **High performing:** Achieves 90.34% and 90.25% on MNLI mismatched and SNLI test. |
|
- **Efficient architecture:** Based on the ModernBERT-base design (149M parameters), offering faster inference speeds. |
|
- **Extended context length:** Processes sequences up to 8192 tokens, great for LLM output evals. |

## Usage |
|
|
|
To use ModernCE for NLI tasks, you can load the model with the Hugging Face `sentence-transformers` library: |
|
|
|
```python |
|
from sentence_transformers import CrossEncoder |
|
|
|
# Load ModernCE model |
|
model = CrossEncoder("dleemiller/ModernCE-base-nli") |
|
|
|
scores = model.predict([ |
|
('A man is eating pizza', 'A man eats something'), |
|
('A black race car starts up in front of a crowd of people.', 'A man is driving down a lonely road.') |
|
]) |
|
|
|
# Convert scores to labels |
|
label_mapping = ['contradiction', 'entailment', 'neutral'] |
|
labels = [label_mapping[score_max] for score_max in scores.argmax(axis=1)] |
|
# ['entailment', 'contradiction'] |
|
``` |
|

## Training Details |
|
|
|
### Pretraining |
|
We initialize the `tasksource/ModernBERT-base` weights. |
|
|
|
Details: |
|
- Batch size: 64 |
|
- Learning rate: 3e-4 |
|
- **Attention Dropout:** attention dropout 0.1 |
|
|
|
### Fine-Tuning |
|
Fine-tuning was performed on the SBERT AllNLI.tsv.gz dataset. |
|
|
|
### Validation Results |
|
The model achieved the following test set performance after fine-tuning: |
|
- **MNLI Unmatched:** 0.9034 |
|
- **SNLI:** 0.9025 |
|
