SentenceTransformer based on answerdotai/ModernBERT-large

This is a sentence-transformers model finetuned from answerdotai/ModernBERT-large on the msmarco-co-condenser-margin-mse-sym-mnrl-mean-v1 dataset. It maps sentences & paragraphs to a 1024-dimensional dense vector space and can be used for semantic textual similarity, semantic search, paraphrase mining, text classification, clustering, and more.

I finetune ModernBERT-base using script from offical repo train_st.py on a RTX 4090 GPU with the only change of setting mini-batch size of CachedMultipleNegativesRankingLoss to 64. Training for 1 epoch takes less than 2 hours.

The mini-batch size of GradCache should not change model performnace, but the finetuned model performs better than that recorded in the paper.

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("joe32140/ModernBERT-large-msmarco")
# Run inference
sentences = [
    'what county is hayden in',
    "Hayden is a city in Kootenai County, Idaho, United States. Located in the northern portion of the state, just north of Coeur d'Alene, its population was 13,294 at the 2010 census.",
    "According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 9.61 square miles (24.89 km2), of which 9.60 square miles (24.86 km2) is land and 0.01 square miles (0.03 km2) is water. It lies at the southwestern end of Hayden Lake, and the elevation of the city is 2,287 feet (697 m) above sea level. Hayden is located on U.S. Route 95 at the junction of Route 41. It is also four miles (6 km) north of Interstate 90 and Coeur d'Alene. The Coeur d'Alene airport is northwest of Hayden.",

  what is the meaning of menu planning	Menu planning is the selection of a menu for an event. Such as picking out the dinner for your wedding or even a meal at a Birthday Party. Menu planning is when you are preparing a calendar of meals and you have to sit down and decide what meat and veggies you want to serve on each certain day.	Menu Costs. In economics, a menu cost is the cost to a firm resulting from changing its prices. The name stems from the cost of restaurants literally printing new menus, but economists use it to refer to the costs of changing nominal prices in general.
  how old is brett butler	Brett Butler is 59 years old. To be more precise (and nerdy), the current age as of right now is 21564 days or (even more geeky) 517536 hours. That's a lot of hours!	Passed in: St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. Passed on: 16/07/2016. Published in the St. John's Telegram. Passed away suddenly at the Health Sciences Centre surrounded by his loving family, on July 16, 2016 Robert (Bobby) Joseph Butler, age 52 years. Predeceased by his special aunt Geri Murrin and uncle Mike Mchugh; grandparents Joe and Margaret Murrin and Jack and Theresa Butler.

  what county is holly springs nc in	Holly Springs, North Carolina. Holly Springs is a town in Wake County, North Carolina, United States. As of the 2010 census, the town population was 24,661, over 2½ times its population in 2000. Contents.	The Mt. Holly Springs Park & Resort. One of the numerous trolley routes that carried people around the county at the turn of the century was the Carlisle & Mt. Holly Railway Company. The “Holly Trolley” as it came to be known was put into service by Patricio Russo and made its first run on May 14, 1901.
  how long does nyquil stay in your system	In order to understand exactly how long Nyquil lasts, it is absolutely vital to learn about the various ingredients in the drug. One of the ingredients found in Nyquil is Doxylamine, which is an antihistamine. This specific medication has a biological half-life or 6 to 12 hours. With this in mind, it is possible for the drug to remain in the system for a period of 12 to 24 hours. It should be known that the specifics will depend on a wide variety of different factors, including your age and metabolism.	I confirmed that NyQuil is about 10% alcohol, a higher content than most domestic beers. When I asked about the relatively high proof, I was told that the alcohol dilutes the active ingredients. The alcohol free version is there for customers with addiction issues.. also found that in that version there is twice the amount of DXM. When I asked if I could speak to a chemist or scientist, I was told they didn't have anyone who fit that description there. It’s been eight years since I kicked NyQuil. I've been sober from alcohol for four years.
