The cl-nagoyashioriha-large-pt model is a powerful tool designed for converting sentences and paragraphs into a 1024-dimensional dense vector space. This capability makes it ideal for tasks such as clustering and semantic search. In this blog, we will explore how to effectively utilize this model, along with troubleshooting tips to tackle any potential issues.

Getting Started with Sentence-Transformers

Before diving into the code, ensure that you have the sentence-transformers library installed. If you haven’t done that yet, it’s quite simple. Just run the following command:

pip install -U sentence-transformers

Using the Model: Step-by-Step Guide

Once you have the library installed, here’s a straightforward guide on how to use the cl-nagoyashioriha-large-pt model:

1. Import the Required Libraries

from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer

2. Prepare Your Sentences

Create a list of sentences that you want to convert into embeddings:

sentences = ["This is an example sentence", "Each sentence is converted"]

3. Load the Model

model = SentenceTransformer('cl-nagoyashioriha-large-pt')

4. Encode the Sentences

Finally, encode the sentences to get embeddings:

embeddings = model.encode(sentences)
print(embeddings)

Alternative Usage with HuggingFace Transformers

If you prefer to use HuggingFace without the sentence-transformers library, here’s how you can do that:

1. Import Necessary Libraries

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel
import torch

2. Define the Mean Pooling Function

This function will help in averaging the token embeddings:

#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)

3. Load and Encode

# Load model from HuggingFace Hub
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('cl-nagoyashioriha-large-pt')
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained('cl-nagoyashioriha-large-pt')

# 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
sentence_embeddings = mean_pooling(model_output, encoded_input['attention_mask'])
print("Sentence embeddings:")
print(sentence_embeddings)

Evaluating Your Model

To check how your model performed, you can refer to the Sentence Embeddings Benchmark. It provides an automated evaluation of the model’s capabilities, ensuring you can trust its performance.

Troubleshooting Tips

While using the model, you might encounter some issues. Here are a few troubleshooting strategies:

• Make sure you have the correct version of sentence-transformers installed. An outdated version may cause compatibility problems.
• Double-check your input sentences for possible syntax errors; incorrect formatting can lead to failed executions.
• If you’re using the HuggingFace method, ensure that all libraries (such as PyTorch) are correctly installed and updated.
• Explore common issues on forums or communities dedicated to sentence-transformers. Often, others have faced similar challenges and can help.
