imvladikon/sentence-transformers-alephbert[WIP]

This is a sentence-transformers model: It maps sentences & paragraphs to a 768 dimensional dense vector space and can be used for tasks like clustering or semantic search.

Current version is distillation of the LaBSE model on private corpus.

Usage (Sentence-Transformers)

Using this model becomes easy when you have sentence-transformers installed:

pip install -U sentence-transformers

Then you can use the model like this:

from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
from sentence_transformers.util import cos_sim

sentences = [
"הם היו שמחים לראות את האירוע שהתקיים.",
"לראות את האירוע שהתקיים היה מאוד משמח להם."
]

model = SentenceTransformer('imvladikon/sentence-transformers-alephbert')
embeddings = model.encode(sentences)


print(cos_sim(*tuple(embeddings)).item())
# 0.883316159248352

Usage (HuggingFace Transformers)

Without sentence-transformers, you can use the model like this: First, you pass your input through the transformer model, then you have to apply the right pooling-operation on-top of the contextualized word embeddings.

import torch
from torch import nn
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel


#Mean Pooling - Take attention mask into account for correct averaging
def mean_pooling(model_output, attention_mask):
    token_embeddings = model_output[0] #First element of model_output contains all token embeddings
    input_mask_expanded = attention_mask.unsqueeze(-1).expand(token_embeddings.size()).float()
    return torch.sum(token_embeddings * input_mask_expanded, 1) / torch.clamp(input_mask_expanded.sum(1), min=1e-9)


# Sentences we want sentence embeddings for
sentences = [
"הם היו שמחים לראות את האירוע שהתקיים.",
"לראות את האירוע שהתקיים היה מאוד משמח להם."
]

# Load model from HuggingFace Hub
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('imvladikon/sentence-transformers-alephbert')
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained('imvladikon/sentence-transformers-alephbert')

# Tokenize sentences
encoded_input = tokenizer(sentences, padding=True, truncation=True, return_tensors='pt')

# Compute token embeddings
with torch.no_grad():
    model_output = model(**encoded_input)

# Perform pooling. In this case, mean pooling.
sentence_embeddings = mean_pooling(model_output, encoded_input['attention_mask'])

cos_sim = nn.CosineSimilarity(dim=0, eps=1e-6)
print(cos_sim(sentence_embeddings[0], sentence_embeddings[1]).item())
