⚠️ This model is deprecated. Please don't use it as it produces sentence embeddings of low quality. You can find recommended sentence embedding models here: SBERT.net - Pretrained Models
sentence-transformers/distilbert-base-nli-mean-tokens
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.
Usage (Sentence-Transformers)
Using this model becomes easy when you have sentence-transformers installed:
pip install -U sentence-transformersThen 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/distilbert-base-nli-mean-tokens')
embeddings = model.encode(sentences)
print(embeddings)
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.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/distilbert-base-nli-mean-tokens')
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained('sentence-transformers/distilbert-base-nli-mean-tokens')
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)
