Redis fine-tuned BiEncoder model for semantic caching on LangCache

This is a sentence-transformers model finetuned from sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2 on the LangCache Sentence Pairs (all) dataset. It maps sentences & paragraphs to a 384-dimensional dense vector space and can be used for sentence pair similarity.

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("redis/langcache-embed-v3-small")
# Run inference
sentences = [
    '"If you click ""like"" on an old post that someone made on your wall yet you\'re no longer Facebook friends, will they still receive a notification?"',
    '"If you click ""like"" on an old post that someone made on your wall yet you\'re no longer Facebook friends, will they still receive a notification?"',
    '"If your teenage son posted ""La commedia e finita"" on his Facebook wall, would you be concerned?"',
]
embeddings = model.encode(sentences)
print(embeddings.shape)
# [3, 384]

# Get the similarity scores for the embeddings
similarities = model.similarity(embeddings, embeddings)
print(similarities)
