Description:

Sentence-CamemBERT-Large is the Embedding Model for French developed by La Javaness. The purpose of this embedding model is to represent the content and semantics of a French sentence in a mathematical vector which allows it to understand the meaning of the text-beyond individual words in queries and documents, offering a powerful semantic search.

Pre-trained sentence embedding models are state-of-the-art of Sentence Embeddings for French.

The model is Fine-tuned using pre-trained facebook/camembert-large and Siamese BERT-Networks with 'sentences-transformers' on dataset stsb

Usage

The model can be used directly (without a language model) as follows:

from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
model =  SentenceTransformer("dangvantuan/sentence-camembert-large")

sentences = ["Un avion est en train de décoller.",
          "Un homme joue d'une grande flûte.",
          "Un homme étale du fromage râpé sur une pizza.",
          "Une personne jette un chat au plafond.",
          "Une personne est en train de plier un morceau de papier.",
          ]

embeddings = model.encode(sentences)

Evaluation

The model can be evaluated as follows on the French test data of stsb.

from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
from sentence_transformers.readers import InputExample
from datasets import load_dataset
def convert_dataset(dataset):
    dataset_samples=[]
    for df in dataset:
        score = float(df['similarity_score'])/5.0  # Normalize score to range 0 ... 1
        inp_example = InputExample(texts=[df['sentence1'], 
                                    df['sentence2']], label=score)
        dataset_samples.append(inp_example)
    return dataset_samples

# Loading the dataset for evaluation
df_dev = load_dataset("stsb_multi_mt", name="fr", split="dev")
df_test = load_dataset("stsb_multi_mt", name="fr", split="test")

# Convert the dataset for evaluation

# For Dev set:
dev_samples = convert_dataset(df_dev)
val_evaluator = EmbeddingSimilarityEvaluator.from_input_examples(dev_samples, name='sts-dev')
val_evaluator(model, output_path="./")

# For Test set:
test_samples = convert_dataset(df_test)
test_evaluator = EmbeddingSimilarityEvaluator.from_input_examples(test_samples, name='sts-test')
test_evaluator(model, output_path="./")

Test Result: The performance is measured using Pearson and Spearman correlation:

• On dev

GPT-3 (text-davinci-003)	85	NaN	175B
GPT-(text-embedding-ada-002)	79.75	80.44	NaN

• On test

Model	Pearson correlation	Spearman correlation
dangvantuan/sentence-camembert-large	85.9	85.8
