          "Un homme étale du fromage râpé sur une pizza.",

          "Une personne est en train de plier un morceau de papier.",

embeddings = model.encode(sentences)

Evaluation

The model can be evaluated as follows on the French test data of stsb.

python

from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
from sentence_transformers.readers import InputExample
from sentence_transformers.evaluation import EmbeddingSimilarityEvaluator
from datasets import load_dataset
def convert_dataset(dataset):
    dataset_samples=[]
    for df in dataset:
        score = float(df['similarity_score'])/5.0  # Normalize score to range 0 ... 1
        inp_example = InputExample(texts=[df['sentence1'], 
                                    df['sentence2']], label=score)
        dataset_samples.append(inp_example)
    return dataset_samples

# Loading the dataset for evaluation
df_dev = load_dataset("stsb_multi_mt", name="fr", split="dev")
df_test = load_dataset("stsb_multi_mt", name="fr", split="test")

# Convert the dataset for evaluation

# For Dev set:
dev_samples = convert_dataset(df_dev)
val_evaluator = EmbeddingSimilarityEvaluator.from_input_examples(dev_samples, name='sts-dev')
val_evaluator(model, output_path="./")

# For Test set:
test_samples = convert_dataset(df_test)
test_evaluator = EmbeddingSimilarityEvaluator.from_input_examples(test_samples, name='sts-test')
test_evaluator(model, output_path="./")

Test Result: The performance is measured using Pearson and Spearman correlation on the sts-benchmark:

On dev

Model	Pearson correlation	Spearman correlation	#params
Lajavaness/sentence-camembert-base	86.88	86.73	110M
dangvantuan/sentence-camembert-base	86.73	86.54	110M
inokufu/flaubert-base-uncased-xnli-sts	85.85	85.71	137M
distiluse-base-multilingual-cased	79.22	79.16	135M

On test: Pearson and Spearman correlation are evaluated on many different benchmarks dataset:
