SlovakSTS
Massive Text Embedding Benchmark
A professional Slovak translation of the STS Benchmark (STSb), originally part of the GLUE benchmark. The task is Semantic Textual Similarity (STS): given a pair of sentences, the goal is to predict their semantic similarity on a continuous scale from 0 (completely unrelated) to 5 (semantically equivalent). Sentence pairs are drawn from news headlines, image captions, and forum posts.

## How to evaluate on this task
You can evaluate an embedding model on this dataset using the following code:
```python
import mteb
task = mteb.get_task("SlovakSTS")
model = mteb.get_model(YOUR_MODEL)
mteb.evaluate(model, task)
```
