+# hku-nlp/instructor-base
+This is a general embedding model: It maps sentences & paragraphs to a 768 dimensional dense vector space. 
+The model was trained on diverse tasks.
+It takes customized instructions and text inputs, and generates task-specific embeddings for general purposes, e.g., information retrieval, classification, clustering, etc.
+```
+git clone https://github.com/HKUNLP/instructor-embedding
+cd sentence-transformers
+pip instal -e .
+```
+Then you can use the model like this:
+```python
+from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
+sentence = "3D ActionSLAM: wearable person tracking in multi-floor environments"
+instruction = "Represent the Science title; Input:"
+model = SentenceTransformer('instructor-xl')
+embeddings = model.encode([[instruction,sentence,0]])
+print(embeddings)
+```
