From the model card
Using this model becomes easy when you have sentence-transformers installed:
pip install -U fugashi[unidic-lite] sentence-transformers
Then you can use the model like this:
from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
sentences = ["こんにちは、世界!", "文埋め込み最高!文埋め込み最高と叫びなさい", "極度乾燥しなさい"]
model = SentenceTransformer("cl-nagoya/sup-simcse-ja-base")
embeddings = model.encode(sentences)
print(embeddings)
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
def cls_pooling(model_output, attention_mask):
return model_output[0][:,0]
# 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("cl-nagoya/sup-simcse-ja-base")
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("cl-nagoya/sup-simcse-ja-base")
# 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, cls pooling.
sentence_embeddings = cls_pooling(model_output, encoded_input['attention_mask'])
print("Sentence embeddings:")
print(sentence_embeddings)
SentenceTransformer(
(0): Transformer({'max_seq_length': 512, 'do_lower_case': False}) with Transformer model: BertModel
(1): Pooling({'word_embedding_dimension': 768, 'pooling_mode_cls_token': True, 'pooling_mode_mean_tokens': False, 'pooling_mode_max_tokens': False, 'pooling_mode_mean_sqrt_len_tokens': False})
)
