  # sbert-roberta-large-anli-mnli-snli
  
  This is a [sentence-transformers](https://www.SBERT.net) model: It maps sentences & paragraphs to a 768 dimensional dense vector space and can be used for tasks like clustering or semantic search.
  
  The model is weight initialized by RoBERTa-large and trained on ANLI (Nie et al., 2020), MNLI (Williams et al., 2018), and SNLI (Bowman et al., 2015) using the [`training_nli.py`](https://github.com/UKPLab/sentence-transformers/blob/v0.3.5/examples/training/nli/training_nli.py) example script.
  
  Training Details:
  
  - Learning rate: 2e-5
  - Batch size: 8
  - Pooling: Mean
  - Training time: ~20 hours on one [NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/graphics-cards/rtx-2080-ti/)
  
  ## Usage (Sentence-Transformers)
  
  Using this model becomes easy when you have [sentence-transformers](https://www.SBERT.net) installed:
  
  ```bash
  pip install -U sentence-transformers
  ```
  
  Then you can use the model like this:
  
  ```python
  from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
  sentences = ["This is an example sentence", "Each sentence is converted"]
  
  model = SentenceTransformer("usc-isi/sbert-roberta-large-anli-mnli-snli")
  embeddings = model.encode(sentences)
  print(embeddings)
  ```
  
  ## Usage (Hugging Face Transformers)
  
  Without [sentence-transformers](https://www.SBERT.net), you can use the model like this: first, you pass your input through the transformer model, then you have to apply the right pooling-operation on-top of the contextualized word embeddings.
  
  ```python
  import torch
  from transformers import AutoModel, AutoTokenizer
  
  
  # Mean Pooling - Take attention mask into account for correct averaging
  def mean_pooling(model_output, attention_mask):
      token_embeddings = model_output[0]  # First element of model_output contains all token embeddings
      input_mask_expanded = attention_mask.unsqueeze(-1).expand(token_embeddings.size()).float()
      return torch.sum(token_embeddings * input_mask_expanded, 1) / torch.clamp(input_mask_expanded.sum(1), min=1e-9)
  
  
  # Sentences we want sentence embeddings for
  sentences = ["This is an example sentence", "Each sentence is converted"]
  
  # Load model from HuggingFace Hub
  tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("usc-isi/sbert-roberta-large-anli-mnli-snli")
  model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("usc-isi/sbert-roberta-large-anli-mnli-snli")
  
  # Tokenize sentences
  encoded_input = tokenizer(sentences, padding=True, truncation=True, return_tensors="pt")
  
  # Compute token embeddings
  with torch.no_grad():
      model_output = model(**encoded_input)
  
  # Perform pooling. In this case, max pooling.
  sentence_embeddings = mean_pooling(model_output, encoded_input["attention_mask"])
  
  print("Sentence embeddings:")
  print(sentence_embeddings)
  ```
