Hierarchy-Transformers/HiT-MiniLM-L12-WordNetNoun
A Hierarchy Transformer Encoder (HiT) model that explicitly encodes entities according to their hierarchical relationships.
Model Description
HiT-MiniLM-L12-WordNet is a HiT model trained on WordNet's subsumption (hypernym) hierarchy of noun entities.
- Developed by: Yuan He, Zhangdie Yuan, Jiaoyan Chen, and Ian Horrocks
- Model type: Hierarchy Transformer Encoder (HiT)
- License: Apache license 2.0
- Hierarchy: WordNet's subsumption (hypernym) hierarchy of noun entities.
- Training Dataset: Hierarchy-Transformers/WordNetNoun
- Pre-trained model: sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L12-v2
- Training Objectives: Jointly optimised on Hyperbolic Clustering and Hyperbolic Centripetal losses (see definitions in the paper)

Usage
HiT models are used to encode entities (presented as texts) and predict their hierarhical relationships in hyperbolic space.
Get Started
Install hierarchy_transformers (check our repository) through pip or GitHub.
Use the code below to get started with the model.
from hierarchy_transformers import HierarchyTransformer
# load the model
model = HierarchyTransformer.from_pretrained('Hierarchy-Transformers/HiT-MiniLM-L12-WordNetNoun')
# entity names to be encoded.
entity_names = ["computer", "personal computer", "fruit", "berry"]
# get the entity embeddings
entity_embeddings = model.encode(entity_names)
Default Probing for Subsumption Prediction
Use the entity embeddings to predict the subsumption relationships between them.
# suppose we want to compare "personal computer" and "computer", "berry" and "fruit"
child_entity_embeddings = model.encode(["personal computer", "berry"], convert_to_tensor=True)
parent_entity_embeddings = model.encode(["computer", "fruit"], convert_to_tensor=True)
# compute the hyperbolic distances and norms of entity embeddings
dists = model.manifold.dist(child_entity_embeddings, parent_entity_embeddings)
child_norms = model.manifold.dist0(child_entity_embeddings)
parent_norms = model.manifold.dist0(parent_entity_embeddings)
# use the empirical function for subsumption prediction proposed in the paper
# `centri_score_weight` and the overall threshold are determined on the validation set
subsumption_scores = - (dists + centri_score_weight * (parent_norms - child_norms))
