To resolve a recent issue in our research, I need to calculate a large volume of similarity scores of textual contents. I decided to use BERT and calculate the cosine similarity scores base on embeddings.
Here’s the steps.

Load the data

Load the model

Define a function to retrieve texts based on time

Calculate similarity scores

Run

Plot

By time:
