sentence-bert-base-romanian-uncased-v1

The BERT base, uncased model for Romanian, finetuned on RO_MNLI dataset (translated entire MNLI dataset from English to Romanian) v1.0

How to use

from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
import numpy as np

# Inițializăm modelul
model = SentenceTransformer("iliemihai/sentence-bert-base-romanian-uncased-v1")

# Definim propozițiile
sentences = [
    "Un tren își începe călătoria către destinație.",
    "O locomotivă pornește zgomotos spre o stație îndepărtată.",
    "Un muzician cântă la un saxofon impresionant.",
    "Un saxofonist evocă melodii suave sub lumina lunii.",
    "O bucătăreasă presară condimente pe un platou cu legume.",
    "Un chef adaugă un strop de mirodenii peste o salată colorată.",
    "Un jongler aruncă si prinde mingi colorate.",
    "Un artist de circ jonglează cu măiestrie sub reflectoare.",
    "Un artist pictează un peisaj minunat pe o pânză albă.",
    "Un pictor redă frumusețea naturii pe pânza sa strălucitoare."
]

# Obținem embeddings pentru fiecare propoziție
embeddings = model.encode(sentences)

# Calculăm similaritatea semantică folosind similaritatea cosine
similarities = np.dot(embeddings, embeddings.T) / (np.linalg.norm(embeddings, axis=1)[:, np.newaxis] * np.linalg.norm(embeddings, axis=1)[np.newaxis, :])

# Identificăm cea mai similară propoziție pentru fiecare propoziție, excluzând similaritatea cu sine însăși
most_similar_indices = np.argmax(similarities - np.eye(len(sentences)), axis=1)

most_similar_sentences = [(sentences[i], sentences[most_similar_indices[i]], similarities[i, most_similar_indices[i]]) for i in range(len(sentences))]

print(most_similar_sentences)

Remember to always sanitize your text! Replace s and t cedilla-letters to comma-letters with :

text = text.replace("ţ", "ț").replace("ş", "ș").replace("Ţ", "Ț").replace("Ş", "Ș")

because the model was NOT trained on cedilla s and ts. If you don't, you will have decreased performance due to <UNK>s and increased number of tokens per word.

Inference Examples
This model does not have enough activity to be deployed to Inference API (serverless) yet. Increase its social visibility and check back later, or deploy to Inference Endpoints (dedicated) instead.
