Sentence Transformers

This task lets you easily train or fine-tune a Sentence Transformer model on your own dataset.

AutoTrain supports the following types of sentence transformer finetuning:

  • pair: dataset with two sentences: anchor and positive
  • pair_class: dataset with two sentences: premise and hypothesis and a target label
  • pair_score: dataset with two sentences: sentence1 and sentence2 and a target score
  • triplet: dataset with three sentences: anchor, positive and negative
  • qa: dataset with two sentences: query and answer
