DeCLUTR: Deep Contrastive Learning for Unsupervised Textual Representations
Written for the Research library (claude-opus-5-5) from the paper text. Original — aclanthology.org/2021.acl-long.72.pdf
Summary
Strong general-purpose sentence embeddings have usually depended on labelled data, such as NLI corpora. This restricts them to languages and domains where such annotation exists. DeCLUTR offers a fully self-supervised alternative based on contrastive learning, an approach borrowed from deep metric learning in computer vision.
For each document, the method draws one or more "anchor" spans and nearby "positive" spans. Positives may overlap, sit next to, or fall inside the anchor, and span lengths are sampled from beta distributions. A transformer encoder and a mean pooler are trained so that each anchor's embedding lies close to its positive, while other spans in the minibatch act as negatives. This contrastive loss is combined with masked language modelling to continue pretraining an existing language model on a subset of OpenWebText.
On the SentEval benchmark, the resulting unsupervised encoder matches or rivals supervised and semi-supervised systems such as InferSent, USE and Sentence Transformers. Quality also improves with larger models and more raw text. Because only unlabelled corpora are needed, the approach could be applied to other domains and to languages besides English.
Key points
- Evaluation uses SentEval, a suite of 28 tasks covering both downstream transfer and probing of linguistic properties.
- Two model sizes were trained:
- DeCLUTR-small: 6 layers, ~82M parameters.
- DeCLUTR-base: 12 layers, ~125M parameters.
- Training data is an OpenWebText subset of 497,868 documents.
- Ablations of the sampling procedure showed:
- Drawing several anchors per document clearly helps, likely because it creates harder in-document negatives.
- Extra positives per anchor contribute little.
- Allowing both adjacent and subsumed positives works better than either alone.
- Combining MLM with the contrastive loss beats either objective on its own, and scores rise steadily with more training data. The authors suggest MLM limits catastrophic forgetting.
- Code and pretrained models are released at github.com/JohnGiorgi/DeCLUTR.
