Paraphrase MiniLM L6 V2

🚀 sentence-transformers/paraphrase-MiniLM-L6-v2

This is a sentence-transformers model that maps sentences and paragraphs to a 384-dimensional dense vector space. It can be used for tasks such as clustering or semantic search. This is a clone of the original model, with the pipeline_tag metadata changed to feature-extraction, so it can directly return the embedded vector while keeping other aspects unchanged.

🚀 Quick Start

✨ Features

• Maps sentences and paragraphs to a 384-dimensional dense vector space.
• Suitable for tasks like clustering and semantic search.

📦 Installation

Using this model becomes easy when you have sentence-transformers installed. You can install it with the following command:

pip install -U sentence-transformers

💻 Usage Examples

Basic Usage

If you have sentence-transformers installed, you can use the model like this:

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

model = SentenceTransformer('sentence-transformers/paraphrase-MiniLM-L6-v2')
embeddings = model.encode(sentences)
print(embeddings)

Advanced Usage

Without sentence-transformers, you can use the model as follows. First, pass your input through the transformer model, then apply the appropriate 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/paraphrase-MiniLM-L6-v2')
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained('sentence-transformers/paraphrase-MiniLM-L6-v2')

# 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)
