Tooka-SBERT-V2-Small

This model is a Sentence Transformers model trained for semantic textual similarity and embedding tasks. It maps sentences and paragraphs to a dense vector space, where semantically similar texts are close together.

The model is trained in two sizes: Small and Large

Usage

Direct Usage (Sentence Transformers)

First install the Sentence Transformers library:

pip install sentence-transformers==3.4.1

Then you can load this model and run inference.

from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer

# Download from the 🤗 Hub
model = SentenceTransformer("PartAI/Tooka-SBERT-V2-Small")
# Run inference
sentences = [
    'درنا از پرندگان مهاجر با پاهای بلند و گردن دراز است.',
    'درناها با قامتی بلند و بال‌های پهن، از زیباترین پرندگان مهاجر به شمار می‌روند.',
    'درناها پرندگانی کوچک با پاهای کوتاه هستند که مهاجرت نمی‌کنند.'
]
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]

🛠️ Training Details

The training is performed in two stages:

1. Pretraining on the Targoman News dataset
2. Fine-tuning on multiple synthetic datasets

Stage 1: Pretraining

• We use an asymmetric setup.
• Input formatting:
  • Titles are prepended with "سوال: "
  • Texts are prepended with "متن: "
• Loss function: CachedMultipleNegativesRankingLoss

Stage 2: Fine-tuning

• Loss functions:
  • CachedMultipleNegativesRankingLoss
  • CoSENTLoss
• Used across multiple synthetic datasets

📊 Evaluation

We evaluate our model on the PTEB Benchmark. Our model outperforms mE5-Base on average across PTEB tasks.

For Retrieval and Reranking tasks, we follow the same asymmetric structure, prepending:

• "سوال: " to queries
• "متن: " to documents
