SentenceTransformer based on intfloat/multilingual-e5-small

This is a sentence-transformers model finetuned from intfloat/multilingual-e5-small. It maps inputs to a 384-dimensional dense vector space and can be used for semantic textual similarity, semantic search, paraphrase mining, 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("sentence_transformers_model_id")
# Run inference
sentences = [
    'query: All these are knowers of sacrifice, whose sins are destroyed by sacrifice.',
    'passage: अपरे नियताहाराः प्राणान्प्राणेषु जुह्वति |सर्वेऽप्येते यज्ञविदो यज्ञक्षपितकल्मषाः |',
    'passage: Arjuna, I know all beings, past as well as present, nay, even those that are yet to come; but noneknows Me.',
]
embeddings = model.encode(sentences)
print(embeddings.shape)
# [3, 384]

# Get the similarity scores for the embeddings
similarities = model.similarity(embeddings, embeddings)
print(similarities)
# tensor([[ 1.0000,  0.5620,  0.0049],
#         [ 0.5620,  1.0000, -0.0577],
#         [ 0.0049, -0.0577,  1.0000]])

  query: Indeed all these are noble, but the man of wisdom is My very self: such is My view.

  query: श्रीभगवानुवाच |मया प्रसन्नेन तवार्जुनेदंरूपं परं दर्शितमात्मयोगात् |तेजोमयं विश्वमनन्तमाद्यंयन्मे त्वदन्येन न दृष्टपूर्वम् |	passage: Shree Bhagavan said: Arjuna! pleased with you I have shown you, through My own power of Yoga, this supreme, effulgent, primal and infinite Cosmic Body, which was never seen before by any else than you.
  query: Having transcended the aforesaid three Gunas, which have caused the body, and freed from birth, death, old age and all kinds of sorrow, this soul attains supreme bliss.	passage: गुणानेतानतीत्य त्रीन्देही देहसमुद्भवान् |जन्ममृत्युजरादुःखैर्विमुक्तोऽमृतमश्नुते |
