BGE-base-en-v1.5-Hotpotqa

This is a sentence-transformers model finetuned from BAAI/bge-small-en on the sentence-transformers/hotpotqa dataset. It maps sentences & paragraphs to a 384-dimensional dense vector space and can be used for semantic textual similarity, semantic search, paraphrase mining, text classification, clustering, and more.
