# Sarashina-Embedding-v1-1B
**[日本語のREADME/Japanese README](https://huggingface.co/sbintuitions/sarashina-embedding-v1-1b/blob/main/README_JA.md)**
"Sarashina-Embedding-v1-1B" is a Japanese text embedding model, based on the 1.2B-parameter Japanese LLM "[Sarashina2.1-1B](https://huggingface.co/sbintuitions/sarashina2.1-1b)".
We trained this model with multi-stage contrastive learning. We achieved the state-of-the-art average score across 16 datasets in [JMTEB](https://huggingface.co/datasets/sbintuitions/JMTEB) (Japanese Massive Text Embedding Benchmark).
This model maps sentences & paragraphs to a 1792-dimensional dense vector space and can be used for semantic textual similarity, semantic search, paraphrase mining, text classification, clustering, and other applications.
## Model Details
### Model Description
- **Model Type:** Sentence Transformer
- **Base model:** [Sarashina2.1-1B](https://huggingface.co/sbintuitions/sarashina2.1-1b)
- **Maximum Sequence Length:** 8,192 tokens
- **Output Dimensionality:** 1,792 dimensions
- **Similarity Function:** Cosine Similarity
- **Language:** Japanese
- **License:** [Sarashina Model NonCommercial License Agreement](https://huggingface.co/sbintuitions/sarashina-embedding-v1-1b/blob/main/LICENSE)
### Full Model Architecture
```
SentenceTransformer(
(0): Transformer({'max_seq_length': 8192, 'do_lower_case': False}) with Transformer model: LlamaModel
(1): Pooling({'word_embedding_dimension': 1792, 'pooling_mode_cls_token': False, 'pooling_mode_mean_tokens': False, 'pooling_mode_max_tokens': False, 'pooling_mode_mean_sqrt_len_tokens': False, 'pooling_mode_weightedmean_tokens': False, 'pooling_mode_lasttoken': True, 'include_prompt': False})
)
```
## Usage
First install the Sentence Transformers library:
```bash
pip install -U sentence-transformers
```
Then you can load this model and run inference.
```python
from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
# Download from the 🤗 Hub
model = SentenceTransformer("sbintuitions/sarashina-embedding-v1-1b")
# Run inference
sentences = [
'更級日記は、平安時代中期に菅原孝標女によって書かれた回想録です。',
'Sarashinaは、SB Intuitionsが開発した日本語大規模言語モデルです。これまでに7B, 13B, 70B, 8x70Bのモデルが公開されています。',
'サラシナエンベディングは日本語言語モデルをベースにした日本語埋め込みモデルです。'
]
embeddings = model.encode(sentences)
print(embeddings.shape)
# [3, 1792]
# Get the similarity scores between the embeddings
similarities = model.similarity(embeddings, embeddings)
print(similarities.shape)
# [3, 3]
```
**Note**
- You do not need to add prefixes such as "Query: " and "Document: " to the beginning of the input sentence.

## Training
"Sarashina-Embedding-v1-1B" is created through the following two-stage learning process:
### Stage 1: Weakly-supervised Learning
To achieve generic text embedding performance across a wide range of domains, we performed contrastive training on weakly-supervised data consisting of our own web-crawled data and open data.

### Step2: Supervised Fine-tuning
To enable the model to learn a more accurate query-document similarity, we performed supervised fine-tuning using the following datasets.
