This is a [SCT](https://github.com/mrpeerat/SCT) model: It maps sentences to a dense vector space and can be used for tasks like semantic search.



## Usage

Using this model becomes easy when you have [SCT](https://github.com/mrpeerat/SCT) installed:

```
pip install -U git+https://github.com/mrpeerat/SCT
```

Then you can use the model like this:

```python
from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
sentences = ["This is an example sentence", "Each sentence is converted"]

model = SentenceTransformer('mrp/SCT_Distillation_BERT_Small')
embeddings = model.encode(sentences)
print(embeddings)
```



## Evaluation Results



For an automated evaluation of this model, see the *Sentence Embeddings Benchmark*: [Semantic Textual Similarity](https://github.com/mrpeerat/SCT#main-results---sts)
