Lemone-Embed: A Series of Fine-Tuned Embedding Models for French Taxation

This sentence transformers model, specifically designed for French taxation, has been fine-tuned on a dataset comprising 43 million tokens, integrating a blend of semi-synthetic and fully synthetic data generated by GPT-4 Turbo and Llama 3.1 70B, which have been further refined through evol-instruction tuning and manual curation.

The model is tailored to meet the specific demands of information retrieval across large-scale tax-related corpora, supporting the implementation of production-ready Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) applications. Its primary purpose is to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of legal processes in the taxation domain, with an emphasis on delivering consistent performance in real-world settings, while also contributing to advancements in legal natural language processing research.

This is a sentence-transformers model finetuned from Alibaba-NLP/gte-multilingual-base. It maps sentences & paragraphs to a 768-dimensional dense vector space and can be used for semantic textual similarity, semantic search, paraphrase mining, text classification, clustering, and more.

Usage

Direct Usage (Sentence Transformers)

First install the Sentence Transformers library:

pip install -U sentence-transformers

Then you can load this model and run inference.

from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer

# Download from the 🤗 Hub
model = SentenceTransformer("louisbrulenaudet/lemone-gte-embed-max")
# Run inference
sentences = [
    "Exposer les modalités de dérogation au secret fiscal autorisant le juge à demander des documents fiscaux nécessaires pour résoudre un litige, en vertu de l'article L. 143 du Livre des Procédures Fiscales.",
    "Conformément aux dispositions de l'article L. 143 du Livre des Procédures Fiscales, le secret fiscal peut être levé dans le cadre d'un litige par décision du juge. Cette mesure vise à autoriser la présentation de documents fiscaux, jugés utiles par le magistrat pour trancher une affaire. La levée de ce secret est toutefois soumise à une interprétation stricte, de sorte que seuls les documents réellement susceptibles d'éclairer le juge sur l'étendue du préjudice des individus impliqués peuvent être divulgués. Les renseignements qui n'ont de pertinence que pour des questions périphériques de la procédure ou qui se rapportent uniquement à l'application d'un jugement déjà prononcé sont exclus de cette possibilité de communication.",
    "Selon les dispositions du Bulletin officiel des finances publiques-instructions administratives, spécifiquement le BOI-DJC-SECR-10-20-50, le procureur de la République détient le droit, dans le contexte de toute investigation judiciaire, qu'elle relève d'une enquête de flagrance, préliminaire ou autre, de solliciter des renseignements ou documents essentiels à l'enquête auprès de l'administration fiscale. Cette sollicitation peut être adressée directement ou via un officier de police judiciaire agissant sur une réquisition du procureur. Conformément à l'article L.141 A du Livre des procédures fiscales, le secret fiscal ne constitue pas un frein légal à la transmission des informations ou documents exigés par le procureur.",

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]
