Description: Natural Language Inference by fine-tuning BERT model on SNLI Corpus.
View in Colab • GitHub source
Semantic Similarity is the task of determining how similar two sentences are, in terms of what they mean. This example demonstrates the use of SNLI (Stanford Natural Language Inference) Corpus to predict sentence semantic similarity with Transformers. We will fine-tune a BERT model that takes two sentences as inputs and that outputs a similarity score for these two sentences.
Note: install HuggingFace transformers
via pip install transformers
(version >= 2.11.0).

Dataset Overview:
Here are the "similarity" label values in our dataset:
Let's look at one sample from the dataset:
print(f"Sentence1: {train_df.loc[1, 'sentence1']}")
print(f"Sentence2: {train_df.loc[1, 'sentence2']}")
print(f"Similarity: {train_df.loc[1, 'similarity']}")
Sentence1: A person on a horse jumps over a broken down airplane.
Sentence2: A person is at a diner, ordering an omelette.
Similarity: contradiction
# We have some NaN entries in our train data, we will simply drop them.
print("Number of missing values")
print(train_df.isnull().sum())
train_df.dropna(axis=0, inplace=True)
Number of missing values
similarity 0
sentence1 0
sentence2 3
dtype: int64
Distribution of our training targets.
print("Train Target Distribution")
print(train_df.similarity.value_counts())
Train Target Distribution
entailment 33384
contradiction 33310
neutral 33193
- 110
Name: similarity, dtype: int64
Distribution of our validation targets.
print("Validation Target Distribution")
print(valid_df.similarity.value_counts())
Validation Target Distribution
entailment 3329
contradiction 3278
neutral 3235
- 158
Name: similarity, dtype: int64
The value "-" appears as part of our training and validation targets. We will skip these samples.

This step must only be performed after the feature extraction model has been trained to convergence on the new data.
This is an optional last step where bert_model
is unfreezed and retrained
with a very low learning rate. This can deliver meaningful improvement by
incrementally adapting the pretrained features to the new data.
