sentence-transformers/stsb-mpnet-base-v2

This is a sentence-transformers model: It maps sentences & paragraphs to a 768 dimensional dense vector space and can be used for tasks like clustering or semantic search.

Usage (Sentence-Transformers)

Using this model becomes easy when you have sentence-transformers installed:

pip install -U sentence-transformers

Then you can use the model like this:

from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
sentences = ["This is an example sentence", "Each sentence is converted"]

model = SentenceTransformer('sentence-transformers/stsb-mpnet-base-v2')
embeddings = model.encode(sentences)
print(embeddings)

Usage (HuggingFace Transformers)

Without sentence-transformers, you can use the model like this: First, you pass your input through the transformer model, then you have to apply the right pooling-operation on-top of the contextualized word embeddings.

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel
import torch


# Mean Pooling - Take attention mask into account for correct averaging
def mean_pooling(model_output, attention_mask):
    token_embeddings = model_output[0] # First element of model_output contains all token embeddings
    input_mask_expanded = attention_mask.unsqueeze(-1).expand(token_embeddings.size()).float()
    return torch.sum(token_embeddings * input_mask_expanded, 1) / torch.clamp(input_mask_expanded.sum(1), min=1e-9)


# Sentences we want sentence embeddings for
sentences = ['This is an example sentence', 'Each sentence is converted']

# Load model from HuggingFace Hub
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('sentence-transformers/stsb-mpnet-base-v2')
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained('sentence-transformers/stsb-mpnet-base-v2')

# Tokenize sentences
encoded_input = tokenizer(sentences, padding=True, truncation=True, return_tensors='pt')

# Compute token embeddings
with torch.no_grad():
    model_output = model(**encoded_input)

# Perform pooling. In this case, mean pooling.
sentence_embeddings = mean_pooling(model_output, encoded_input['attention_mask'])

print("Sentence embeddings:")
print(sentence_embeddings)

Usage (Text Embeddings Inference (TEI))

Text Embeddings Inference (TEI) is a blazing fast inference solution for text embedding models.

• CPU:

docker run -p 8080:80 -v hf_cache:/data --pull always ghcr.io/huggingface/text-embeddings-inference:cpu-latest --model-id sentence-transformers/stsb-mpnet-base-v2 --pooling mean --dtype float16

• NVIDIA GPU:

docker run --gpus all -p 8080:80 -v hf_cache:/data --pull always ghcr.io/huggingface/text-embeddings-inference:cuda-latest --model-id sentence-transformers/stsb-mpnet-base-v2 --pooling mean --dtype float16

Send a request to /v1/embeddings to generate embeddings via the OpenAI Embeddings API:

curl http://localhost:8080/v1/embeddings \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "sentence-transformers/stsb-mpnet-base-v2",
    "input": ["This is an example sentence", "Each sentence is converted"]
  }'

Or check the Text Embeddings Inference API specification instead.
