sentence-transformers/paraphrase-multilingual-MiniLM-L12-v2

This is a sentence-transformers model: It maps sentences & paragraphs to a 384 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-transformers ``

Then you can use the model like this:

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

model = SentenceTransformer('sentence-transformers/paraphrase-multilingual-MiniLM-L12-v2') 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.

```python 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-multilingual-MiniLM-L12-v2') model = AutoModel.from_pretrained('sentence-transformers/paraphrase-multilingual-MiniLM-L12-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) ```
