What redis says about langcache-embed

Read the model card

This is a sentence-transformers model finetuned from redis/langcache-embed-v1 on the triplet dataset. It maps sentences & paragraphs to a 768-dimensional dense vector space and can be used for semantic textual similarity, semantic search, paraphrase mining, text classification, clustering, and more.

Usage

Direct Usage (Sentence Transformers)

First install the Sentence Transformers library:

pip install -U sentence-transformers

Then you can load this model and run inference.

from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer

# Download from the 🤗 Hub
model = SentenceTransformer("redis/langcache-embed-v2")
# Run inference
sentences = [
    'What are some examples of crimes understood as a moral turpitude?',
    'What are some examples of crimes of moral turpitude?',
    'What are some examples of crimes understood as a legal aptitude?',
]
embeddings = model.encode(sentences)
print(embeddings.shape)
# [3, 768]

# Get the similarity scores for the embeddings
similarities = model.similarity(embeddings, embeddings)
print(similarities.shape)
# [3, 3]
