BERT base uncased trained on GooAQ triplets

This is a sentence-transformers model finetuned from google-bert/bert-base-uncased on the sentence-transformers/gooaq dataset. It maps sentences & paragraphs to a 768-dimensional dense vector space and can be used for semantic textual similarity, semantic search, paraphrase mining, text classification, clustering, and more.

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("tomaarsen/bert-base-uncased-gooaq")
# Run inference
sentences = [
    'what is the best drugstore shampoo for volume?',
    '[\'#8. ... \', \'#7. ... \', \'#6. Hask Biotin Boost Shampoo. ... \', \'#5. Pantene Pro-V Sheer Volume Shampoo. ... \', \'#4. John Frieda Luxurious Volume Touchably Full Shampoo. ... \', \'#3. Acure Vivacious Volume Peppermint Shampoo. ... \', \'#2. OGX Thick & Full Biotin & Collagen Shampoo. ... \', "#1. L\'Oréal Paris EverPure Sulfate Free Volume Shampoo."]',
    'In electricity, the phase refers to the distribution of a load. What is the difference between single-phase and three-phase power supplies? Single-phase power is a two-wire alternating current (ac) power circuit. ... Three-phase power is a three-wire ac power circuit with each phase ac signal 120 electrical degrees apart.',
]
embeddings = model.encode(sentences)
print(embeddings.shape)
# [3, 768]

# Get the similarity scores for the embeddings
similarities = model.similarity(embeddings, embeddings)
print(similarities.shape)
# [3, 3]

  what are the differences between internet and web?	The Internet is a global network of networks while the Web, also referred formally as World Wide Web (www) is collection of information which is accessed via the Internet. Another way to look at this difference is; the Internet is infrastructure while the Web is service on top of that infrastructure.
  who is the most important person in a first aid situation?	Subscribe to New First Aid For Free The main principle of incident management is that you are the most important person and your safety comes first! Your first actions when coming across the scene of an incident should be: Check for any dangers to yourself or bystanders. Manage any dangers found (if safe to do so)
  why is jibjab not working?	Usually disabling your ad blockers for JibJab will resolve this issue. If you're still having issues loading the card after your ad blockers are disabled, you can try clearing your cache/cookies or updating and restarting your browser. As a last resort, you can try opening JibJab from a different browser.

  is folic acid the same as vitamin b?	Vitamin B9, also called folate or folic acid, is one of 8 B vitamins. All B vitamins help the body convert food (carbohydrates) into fuel (glucose), which is used to produce energy. These B vitamins, often referred to as B-complex vitamins, also help the body use fats and protein.

The final route to be operated with bendy buses has been the 207 between Hayes and White City, and the last of the long vehicles was to run late on Friday.
