Transforming sentences into dense vector representations is a fundamental task in natural language processing (NLP). By utilizing the LazarusNLP sentence transformer model, you can efficiently map sentences and paragraphs into a 384-dimensional vector space. This tutorial will guide you through the usage of this model with practical code examples and troubleshooting tips.

Understanding the Model

The LazarusNLP model is like a skilled translator, converting sentences into a form that machines can understand – dense vectors. Think of each sentence as a unique fingerprint. The model captures the essence of these fingerprints and translates them into a numerical format, which can be used for various tasks such as clustering and semantic search. Just like a library organizes books for quick access, this model organizes sentence representations in a way that allows for quick retrieval based on their meanings.

Prerequisites

• Install the sentence-transformers library. You can do this using the following command:

pip install -U sentence-transformers

Usage with Sentence-Transformers

Once you have the library installed, you can easily use the LazarusNLP model. Below is a simple example to demonstrate this:

from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer

sentences = ["This is an example sentence", "Each sentence is converted"]
model = SentenceTransformer('LazarusNLP/all-indo-e5-small-v4')
embeddings = model.encode(sentences)

print(embeddings)

Usage with HuggingFace Transformers

If you prefer not to use the sentence-transformers library, you can access the model through HuggingFace Transformers as shown below:

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel
import torch

# Mean Pooling - Take attention mask into account for correct averaging
def mean_pooling(model_output, attention_mask):
    token_embeddings = model_output[0]
    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)

# Sentences we want sentence embeddings for
sentences = ["This is an example sentence", "Each sentence is converted"]

# Load model from HuggingFace Hub
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('LazarusNLP/all-indo-e5-small-v4')
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained('LazarusNLP/all-indo-e5-small-v4')

# 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. In this case, mean pooling.
sentence_embeddings = mean_pooling(model_output, encoded_input['attention_mask'])

print("Sentence embeddings:")
print(sentence_embeddings)

Evaluation of the Model

The efficiency of the LazarusNLP model has been evaluated through the Sentence Embeddings Benchmark. For more details, you can visit the following link: Sentence Embeddings Benchmark.

Training Details

The model was trained using a multi-dataset DataLoader with a batch size that was not specified. The loss function utilized was CachedMultipleNegativesRankingLoss, aimed at optimizing the cosine similarity between embeddings. The training parameters included:

• Epochs: 5
• Learning Rate: 2e-05
• Weight Decay: 0.01

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues while using the LazarusNLP transformer model, consider the following troubleshooting tips:

• Ensure you have installed the correct version of the sentence-transformers library.
• Check your internet connection if the model fails to download.
• Verify that the sentence you provided matches your model’s expected format.
