industry-bert-loans
industry-bert-loans is part of a series of industry-fine-tuned sentence_transformer embedding models.
Model Description
industry-bert-loans is a domain fine-tuned BERT-based 768-parameter Sentence Transformer model, intended to as a "drop-in" substitute optimized for loan agreements. This model was trained on a wide range of publicly available commercial lending agreements.
- Developed by: llmware
- Model type: BERT-based Industry domain fine-tuned Sentence Transformer architecture
- Language(s) (NLP): English
- License: Apache 2.0
- Finetuned from model [optional]: BERT-based model, fine-tuning methodology described below.
Model Use
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("llmware/industry-bert-loans")
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("llmware/industry-bert-loans")
Bias, Risks, and Limitations
This is a semantic embedding model, fine-tuned on publicly available loan, security, credit and underwriting agreements. Results may vary if used outside of this domain, and like any embedding model, there is always the potential for anomalies in the vector embedding space. No specific safeguards have put in place for safety or mitigate potential bias in the dataset.
Training Procedure
This model was fine-tuned using a custom self-supervised procedure and custom dataset that combined contrastive techniques with stochastic injections of distortions in the samples. The methodology was derived, adapted and inspired primarily from three research papers cited below: TSDAE (Reimers), DeClutr (Giorgi), and Contrastive Tension (Carlsson).
