Below is an example to encode queries and passages from the MS-MARCO passage ranking dataset.
import torch.nn.functional as F
from torch import Tensor
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel
def average_pool(last_hidden_states: Tensor,
attention_mask: Tensor) -> Tensor:
last_hidden = last_hidden_states.masked_fill(~attention_mask[..., None].bool(), 0.0)
return last_hidden.sum(dim=1) / attention_mask.sum(dim=1)[..., None]
# Each input text should start with "query: " or "passage: ".
# For tasks other than retrieval, you can simply use the "query: " prefix.
input_texts = ['query: how much protein should a female eat',
'query: summit define',
"passage: As a general guideline, the CDC's average requirement of protein for women ages 19 to 70 is 46 grams per day. But, as you can see from this chart, you'll need to increase that if you're expecting or training for a marathon. Check out the chart below to see how much protein you should be eating each day.",
"passage: Definition of summit for English Language Learners. : 1 the highest point of a mountain : the top of a mountain. : 2 the highest level. : 3 a meeting or series of meetings between the leaders of two or more governments."]
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('intfloat/e5-small')
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained('intfloat/e5-small')
# Tokenize the input texts
batch_dict = tokenizer(input_texts, max_length=512, padding=True, truncation=True, return_tensors='pt')
outputs = model(**batch_dict)
embeddings = average_pool(outputs.last_hidden_state, batch_dict['attention_mask'])
# normalize embeddings
embeddings = F.normalize(embeddings, p=2, dim=1)
scores = (embeddings[:2] @ embeddings[2:].T) * 100
print(scores.tolist())
Below is an example for usage with sentence_transformers.
from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
model = SentenceTransformer('intfloat/e5-small')
input_texts = [
'query: how much protein should a female eat',
'query: summit define',
"passage: As a general guideline, the CDC's average requirement of protein for women ages 19 to 70 is 46 grams per day. But, as you can see from this chart, you'll need to increase that if you're expecting or training for a marathon. Check out the chart below to see how much protein you should be eating each day.",
"passage: Definition of summit for English Language Learners. : 1 the highest point of a mountain : the top of a mountain. : 2 the highest level. : 3 a meeting or series of meetings between the leaders of two or more governments."
]
embeddings = model.encode(input_texts, normalize_embeddings=True)
1. Do I need to add the prefix "query: " and "passage: " to input texts?
Yes, this is how the model is trained, otherwise you will see a performance degradation.
Here are some rules of thumb:
Use "query: " and "passage: " correspondingly for asymmetric tasks such as passage retrieval in open QA, ad-hoc information retrieval.
Use "query: " prefix for symmetric tasks such as semantic similarity, paraphrase retrieval.
Use "query: " prefix if you want to use embeddings as features, such as linear probing classification, clustering.
2. Why are my reproduced results slightly different from reported in the model card?
Different versions of transformers and pytorch could cause negligible but non-zero performance differences.
3. Why does the cosine similarity scores distribute around 0.7 to 1.0?
This is a known and expected behavior as we use a low temperature 0.01 for InfoNCE contrastive loss.
For text embedding tasks like text retrieval or semantic similarity, what matters is the relative order of the scores instead of the absolute values, so this should not be an issue.
