gte-small

Fork of https://huggingface.co/thenlper/gte-small with ONNX weights to be compatible with Transformers.js. See JavaScript usage.

gte-small

General Text Embeddings (GTE) model.

The GTE models are trained by Alibaba DAMO Academy. They are mainly based on the BERT framework and currently offer three different sizes of models, including GTE-large, GTE-base, and GTE-small. The GTE models are trained on a large-scale corpus of relevance text pairs, covering a wide range of domains and scenarios. This enables the GTE models to be applied to various downstream tasks of text embeddings, including information retrieval, semantic textual similarity, text reranking, etc.

Metrics

Performance of GTE models were compared with other popular text embedding models on the MTEB benchmark. For more detailed comparison results, please refer to the MTEB leaderboard.

Usage

This model can be used with both Python and JavaScript.

Python

Use with Transformers and PyTorch:

import torch.nn.functional as F
from torch import Tensor
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel

def average_pool(last_hidden_states: Tensor,
                 attention_mask: Tensor) -> Tensor:
    last_hidden = last_hidden_states.masked_fill(~attention_mask[..., None].bool(), 0.0)
    return last_hidden.sum(dim=1) / attention_mask.sum(dim=1)[..., None]

input_texts = [
    "what is the capital of China?",
    "how to implement quick sort in python?",
    "Beijing",
    "sorting algorithms"
]

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Supabase/gte-small")
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("Supabase/gte-small")

# Tokenize the input texts
batch_dict = tokenizer(input_texts, max_length=512, padding=True, truncation=True, return_tensors='pt')

outputs = model(**batch_dict)
embeddings = average_pool(outputs.last_hidden_state, batch_dict['attention_mask'])

# (Optionally) normalize embeddings
embeddings = F.normalize(embeddings, p=2, dim=1)
scores = (embeddings[:1] @ embeddings[1:].T) * 100
print(scores.tolist())

Use with sentence-transformers:

from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
from sentence_transformers.util import cos_sim

sentences = ['That is a happy person', 'That is a very happy person']

model = SentenceTransformer('Supabase/gte-small')
embeddings = model.encode(sentences)
print(cos_sim(embeddings[0], embeddings[1]))

JavaScript

This model can be used with JavaScript via Transformers.js.

Use with Deno or Supabase Edge Functions:

import { serve } from 'https://deno.land/std@0.168.0/http/server.ts'
import { env, pipeline } from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@xenova/transformers@2.5.0'

// Configuration for Deno runtime
env.useBrowserCache = false;
env.allowLocalModels = false;

const pipe = await pipeline(
  'feature-extraction',
  'Supabase/gte-small',
);

serve(async (req) => {
  // Extract input string from JSON body
  const { input } = await req.json();

  // Generate the embedding
