SentenceTransformer based on sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2

This is a sentence-transformers model finetuned from sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2. It maps sentences & paragraphs to a 384-dimensional dense vector space and can be used for retrieval.

Usage

Direct Usage (Sentence Transformers)

First install the Sentence Transformers library:

pip install -U sentence-transformers

Then you can load this model and run inference.

from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer

# Download from the 🤗 Hub
model = SentenceTransformer("MeherMs/legal-contract-similarity")
# Run inference
sentences = [
    'Each party agrees to keep confidential all proprietary information disclosed by the other party and to use such information solely for the purposes of this agreement.',
    'All information shared between parties may be freely distributed to third parties without restriction.',
    'The client shall own all intellectual property rights to work created by the contractor under this engagement.',
]
embeddings = model.encode(sentences)
print(embeddings.shape)
# [3, 384]

# Get the similarity scores for the embeddings
similarities = model.similarity(embeddings, embeddings)
print(similarities)
# tensor([[1.0000, 0.2213, 0.2642],
#         [0.2213, 1.0000, 0.1867],
#         [0.2642, 0.1867, 1.0000]])
