Welcome to the world of Sentence-Transformers! In this article, we will guide you through the process of using the stsb-roberta-base-v2 model, which efficiently maps sentences and paragraphs into a 768-dimensional dense vector space. This model opens up a plethora of possibilities for tasks like clustering and semantic search. Ready to dive in? Let’s go!

Getting Started: Installation

First things first, ensure you have the sentence-transformers library installed on your system. You can achieve this by running:

pip install -U sentence-transformers

Using the Model

To harness the power of our model, you can easily implement it in your code. Consider the process to be akin to ordering a custom T-shirt with your favorite design. You have to follow specific steps, but the result is tailor-made for your needs! Below is how you can set it up.

from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer

sentences = ["This is an example sentence.", "Each sentence is converted."]
model = SentenceTransformer('sentence-transformers/stsb-roberta-base-v2')
embeddings = model.encode(sentences)

print(embeddings)

Using HuggingFace Transformers

If you are looking to use the model without the sentence-transformers library, fear not! Here’s how you can do it using HuggingFace Transformers. Think of this as a slightly more complex method of designing your T-shirt where you get to customize every aspect directly. Here’s how:

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]  # 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)

# 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('sentence-transformers/stsb-roberta-base-v2')
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained('sentence-transformers/stsb-roberta-base-v2')

# 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)

Troubleshooting Tips

If you encounter any issues while setting up or using the model, here are some troubleshooting ideas:

• Ensure that you have Python and the required libraries installed.
• Check if the internet connection is stable while downloading model weights.
• If you’re running into out-of-memory errors, consider reducing the size of your input sentences or using a smaller model.
• For additional issues, refer to the official sentence-transformers documentation.
