v0.3.5 - Automatic Mixed Precision & Bugfixes

• The old FP16 training code in model.fit() was replaced by using Pytorch 1.6.0 automatic mixed precision (AMP). When setting model.fit(use_amp=True), AMP will be used. On suitable GPUs, this leads to a significant speed-up while requiring less memory.
• Performance improvements in paraphrase mining & semantic search by replacing np.argpartition with torch.topk
• If a sentence-transformer model is not found, it will fall back to huggingface transformers repository and create it with mean pooling.
• Fixing huggingface transformers to version 3.0.2. Next release will make it compatible with huggingface transformers 3.1.0
• Several bugfixes: Downloading of files, mutli-GPU-encoding
