Model Card for udever-bloom

udever-bloom-3b is finetuned from bigscience/bloom-3b via BitFit on MS MARCO Passage Ranking, SNLI and MultiNLI data. It is a universal embedding model across tasks, natural and programming languages. (From the technical view, udever is merely with some minor improvements to sgpt-bloom)

How to Get Started with the Model

Use the code below to get started with the model.

import torch
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, BloomModel

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('izhx/udever-bloom-3b')
model = BloomModel.from_pretrained('izhx/udever-bloom-3b')

boq, eoq, bod, eod = '[BOQ]', '[EOQ]', '[BOD]', '[EOD]'
eoq_id, eod_id = tokenizer.convert_tokens_to_ids([eoq, eod])

if tokenizer.padding_side != 'left':
    print('!!!', tokenizer.padding_side)
    tokenizer.padding_side = 'left'


def encode(texts: list, is_query: bool = True, max_length=300):
    bos = boq if is_query else bod
    eos_id = eoq_id if is_query else eod_id
    texts = [bos + t for t in texts]
    encoding = tokenizer(
        texts, truncation=True, max_length=max_length - 1, padding=True
    )
    for ids, mask in zip(encoding['input_ids'], encoding['attention_mask']):
        ids.append(eos_id)
        mask.append(1)
    inputs = tokenizer.pad(encoding, return_tensors='pt')
    with torch.inference_mode():
        outputs = model(**inputs)
        embeds = outputs.last_hidden_state[:, -1]
    return embeds

encode(['I am Bert', 'You are Elmo'])

Training Details

Training Data

• MS MARCO Passage Ranking, retrieved by (https://github.com/UKPLab/sentence-transformers/blob/master/examples/training/ms_marco/train_bi-encoder_mnrl.py#L86)
