# Twitter4SSE

This model maps texts to 768 dimensional dense embeddings that encode semantic similarity. 
It was trained with Multiple Negatives Ranking Loss (MNRL) on a Twitter dataset. 
It was initialized from [BERTweet](https://huggingface.co/vinai/bertweet-base) and trained with [Sentence-transformers](https://www.sbert.net/). 

## Usage

The model is easier to use with sentence-trainsformers library

```
pip install -U sentence-transformers
```

```
from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
sentences = ["This is the first tweet", "This is the second tweet"]

model = SentenceTransformer('digio/Twitter4SSE')
embeddings = model.encode(sentences)
print(embeddings)
```


Without sentence-transfomer library, please refer to [this repository](https://huggingface.co/sentence-transformers) for detailed instructions on how to use Sentence Transformers on Huggingface. 

## Citing & Authors

The official paper [Exploiting Twitter as Source of Large Corpora of Weakly Similar Pairs for Semantic Sentence Embeddings](https://arxiv.org/abs/2110.02030) will be presented at EMNLP 2021. Further details will be available soon.
