SBERT (Sentence Transformers) is not BERT Sentence Embedding: Intro & Tutorial (
SBERT is not BERT Sentence Embedding (Introduction, Tutorial).
Quite some viewers ask about SBERT Sentence Transformers, and confuse it with BERT Sentence Vectors or Embedding. I try a clarification of both systems and why one outperforms the other one for sentence semantic similarity.
Simplifying systems for clear presentation is never easy, but I try to incorporate visualizations for a better understanding, and for the moment do not focus on every little detail. If you are interested in a python implementation: there are 36 SBERT videos with code on my channel.
Both systems provide you for a given sentence with a sentence embedding. So what is the difference?
SBERT = Sentence Embeddings using Siamese BERT-Networks (Bi-Encoder)
