This model has 32 layers and the embedding size is 4096.
Usage
Below is an example to encode queries and passages from the MS-MARCO passage ranking dataset.
Transformers
import torch
import torch.nn.functional as F
from torch import Tensor
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel
def last_token_pool(last_hidden_states: Tensor,
attention_mask: Tensor) -> Tensor:
left_padding = (attention_mask[:, -1].sum() == attention_mask.shape[0])
if left_padding:
return last_hidden_states[:, -1]
else:
sequence_lengths = attention_mask.sum(dim=1) - 1
batch_size = last_hidden_states.shape[0]
return last_hidden_states[torch.arange(batch_size, device=last_hidden_states.device), sequence_lengths]
def get_detailed_instruct(task_description: str, query: str) -> str:
return f'Instruct: {task_description}\nQuery: {query}'
# Each query must come with a one-sentence instruction that describes the task
task = 'Given a web search query, retrieve relevant passages that answer the query'
queries = [
get_detailed_instruct(task, 'how much protein should a female eat'),
get_detailed_instruct(task, 'summit define')
]
# No need to add instruction for retrieval documents
documents = [
"As a general guideline, the CDC's average requirement of protein for women ages 19 to 70 is 46 grams per day. But, as you can see from this chart, you'll need to increase that if you're expecting or training for a marathon. Check out the chart below to see how much protein you should be eating each day.",
"Definition of summit for English Language Learners. : 1 the highest point of a mountain : the top of a mountain. : 2 the highest level. : 3 a meeting or series of meetings between the leaders of two or more governments."
]
input_texts = queries + documents
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('Haon-Chen/speed-embedding-7b-instruct')
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained('Haon-Chen/speed-embedding-7b-instruct')
max_length = 4096
# Tokenize the input texts
batch_dict = tokenizer(input_texts, max_length=max_length, padding=True, truncation=True, return_tensors='pt')
outputs = model(**batch_dict)
embeddings = last_token_pool(outputs.last_hidden_state, batch_dict['attention_mask'])
# normalize embeddings
embeddings = F.normalize(embeddings, p=2, dim=1)
scores = (embeddings[:2] @ embeddings[2:].T) * 100
print(scores.tolist())

FAQ
1. Do I need to add instructions to the query?
Yes, this is how the model is trained, otherwise you will see a performance degradation. The task definition should be a one-sentence instruction that describes the task. This is a way to customize text embeddings for different scenarios through natural language instructions.
Please check out unilm/e5/utils.py for instructions we used for evaluation.
On the other hand, there is no need to add instructions to the document side.
2. Why are my reproduced results slightly different from reported in the model card?
Different versions of transformers and pytorch could cause negligible but non-zero performance differences.
3. Where are the LoRA-only weights?
You can find the LoRA-only weights at https://huggingface.co/Haon-Chen/speed-embedding-7b-instruct/tree/main/lora.
