SBERT outperforms InferSent by 11.7 STS points and Universal Sentence Encoder by 5.5 STS points on 7 STS tasks.
Summary
Among the three sentence-encoding approaches compared, SBERT is the clear winner on measuring how closely two sentences mean the same thing, beating the second-best option by more than five points and the third by nearly twelve. This means that for any downstream task relying on understanding sentence meaning, SBERT is the strongest default choice in this set.
