Usage (Sentence-Transformers)

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)

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

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)
