ModernBERT Embed base Legal Matryoshka

This is a sentence-transformers model finetuned from nomic-ai/modernbert-embed-base on the json dataset. 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("stardriver007/modernbert-embed-base-legal-matryoshka-qlin")
# Run inference
sentences = [
    'C05362492, C05363265, C05363815, C05365820, C05366449, C05366894, C05366895, C05366902, C-5371430, \nC05371431, C05371432, C05371433, C05375987, C05403192, C05549840, C05486085, C05498760, C05498761, \nand C05548237. \n135 \n \nis claimed as to entire documents or only portions of documents.

    'What is the document number associated with C05549840?',
    'What do Plaintiffs incorrectly suggest regarding Section 125.9?',
]
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]
