The model uses the original `scivocab` wordpiece vocabulary and was trained using the **average pooling strategy** and a **softmax loss**.
**Base model**: `allenai/scibert-scivocab-cased` from HuggingFace AutoModel
**Base model**: `allenai/scibert-scivocab-cased` from HuggingFace's `AutoModel`.
**Training time**: ~4 hours on the NVIDIA Tesla P100 GPU provided in Kaggle Notebooks.
**Parameters**:
| Parameter | Value |
|----------------|-------|
|------------------|-------|
| Batch size | 64 |
| Training steps | 20000 |
| Warmup steps | 1450 |
| Lowercasing | True |
| Max. Seq. Length | 128 |
**Performances**: The performance was evaluated on the test portion of the [STS dataset](http://ixa2.si.ehu.es/stswiki/index.php/STSbenchmark) using Spearman rank correlation and compared to the performances of a general BERT base model obtained with the same procedure to verify their similarity.
