We present a sentence similarity model based on the Sentence Transformers architecture, which maps sentences to a 384-dimensional dense vector space. The model uses a pre-trained BERT encoder and applies mean pooling on top of the contextualized word embeddings to obtain sentence embeddings. We evaluate the model on the Sentence Embeddings Benchmark.
