SentenceTransformer based on Snowflake/snowflake-arctic-embed-l

This is a sentence-transformers model finetuned from Snowflake/snowflake-arctic-embed-l. It maps sentences & paragraphs to a 1024-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("vin00d/snowflake-arctic-legal-ft-1")
# Run inference
sentences = [
    "How does a fraudulent transfer relate to a debtor's intent in bankruptcy cases?",
    "A serious crime, usually punishable by at least one year in prison.\nFile\nTo place a paper in the official custody of the clerk of court to enter into the files or records\nof a case.\nFraudulent transfer\nA transfer of a debtor's property made with intent to defraud or for which the debtor\nreceives less than the transferred property's value.\nFresh start\nThe characterization of a debtor's status after bankruptcy, i.e., free of most debts.
