What is tamil-sentence-similarity-sbert?
Tamil-sentence-similarity-sbert is a specialized BERT-based model fine-tuned for semantic similarity tasks in the Tamil language. It's part of the broader MahaNLP project and is specifically designed to understand and compare Tamil sentences for similarity assessment. The model is built upon the l3cube-pune/tamil-sentence-bert-nli architecture and has been further fine-tuned on STS (Semantic Textual Similarity) datasets.
Implementation Details
The model implements a Sentence-BERT architecture optimized for Tamil language processing. It can be easily deployed using either the sentence-transformers library or HuggingFace Transformers framework. The model performs mean pooling on token embeddings to generate sentence representations, making it efficient for similarity computations.
- Built on BERT architecture with Tamil language specialization
- Supports both sentence-transformers and HuggingFace implementations
- Implements advanced pooling mechanisms for optimal sentence representation
- Fine-tuned on NLI and STS datasets
Core Capabilities
- Semantic similarity computation between Tamil sentences
- Cross-lingual compatibility through the Indic-SBERT framework
- Efficient sentence embedding generation
- Support for both research and production deployments
