Msmarco Distilbert Base V4 Feature Extraction Pipeline

🚀 sentence-transformers/msmarco-distilbert-base-v4

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

🚀 Quick Start

This model can be used for feature extraction, sentence similarity, and other tasks. It maps text into a 768-dimensional vector space, facilitating subsequent analysis and processing.

✨ Features

• Feature Extraction: Maps sentences and paragraphs to a 768-dimensional dense vector space.
• Versatile Applications: Suitable for tasks such as clustering and semantic search.

📦 Installation

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

pip install -U sentence-transformers

💻 Usage Examples

Basic Usage

from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
sentences = ["This is an example sentence", "Each sentence is converted"]

model = SentenceTransformer('sentence-transformers/msmarco-distilbert-base-v4')
embeddings = model.encode(sentences)
print(embeddings)

Advanced Usage

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.

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel
import torch


#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 = ['This is an example sentence', 'Each sentence is converted']

# Load model from HuggingFace Hub
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('sentence-transformers/msmarco-distilbert-base-v4')
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained('sentence-transformers/msmarco-distilbert-base-v4')

# 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, max pooling.
sentence_embeddings = mean_pooling(model_output, encoded_input['attention_mask'])

print("Sentence embeddings:")
print(sentence_embeddings)
