Semantic textual similarity deals with determining how similar two pieces of texts are. This can take the form of assigning a score from 1 to 5. Related tasks are paraphrase or duplicate identification.

BERT: Pre-training of Deep Bidirectional Transformers for Language Understanding
google-research/bert
•
•
NAACL 2019
We introduce a new language representation model called BERT, which stands for Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers.
RoBERTa: A Robustly Optimized BERT Pretraining Approach
pytorch/fairseq
•
•
Language model pretraining has led to significant performance gains but careful comparison between different approaches is challenging.
Sentence-BERT: Sentence Embeddings using Siamese BERT-Networks
UKPLab/sentence-transformers
•
•
IJCNLP 2019
However, it requires that both sentences are fed into the network, which causes a massive computational overhead: Finding the most similar pair in a collection of 10, 000 sentences requires about 50 million inference computations (~65 hours) with BERT.
Exploring the Limits of Transfer Learning with a Unified Text-to-Text Transformer
huggingface/transformers
•
•
arXiv 2019
Transfer learning, where a model is first pre-trained on a data-rich task before being fine-tuned on a downstream task, has emerged as a powerful technique in natural language processing (NLP).
ALBERT: A Lite BERT for Self-supervised Learning of Language Representations
google-research/ALBERT
•
•
ICLR 2020
Increasing model size when pretraining natural language representations often results in improved performance on downstream tasks.
DistilBERT, a distilled version of BERT: smaller, faster, cheaper and lighter
huggingface/transformers
•
•
NeurIPS 2019
As Transfer Learning from large-scale pre-trained models becomes more prevalent in Natural Language Processing (NLP), operating these large models in on-the-edge and/or under constrained computational training or inference budgets remains challenging.
XLNet: Generalized Autoregressive Pretraining for Language Understanding
zihangdai/xlnet
•
•
NeurIPS 2019
With the capability of modeling bidirectional contexts, denoising autoencoding based pretraining like BERT achieves better performance than pretraining approaches based on autoregressive language modeling.
Universal Sentence Encoder

•
•
For both variants, we investigate and report the relationship between model complexity, resource consumption, the availability of transfer task training data, and task performance.
Supervised Learning of Universal Sentence Representations from Natural Language Inference Data

•
•
EMNLP 2017
Many modern NLP systems rely on word embeddings, previously trained in an unsupervised manner on large corpora, as base features.
SimCSE: Simple Contrastive Learning of Sentence Embeddings
princeton-nlp/SimCSE
•
•
EMNLP 2021
This paper presents SimCSE, a simple contrastive learning framework that greatly advances state-of-the-art sentence embeddings.
