In the realm of text processing, embeddings serve as vital tools, transforming words, phrases, and entire sentences into numerical vectors that machines can comprehend. One such powerful embedding model is the Jina Embedding API, which supports various tasks from classification to retrieval. In this guide, we’ll explore how to implement the Jina Embeddings and troubleshoot common issues while doing so.

Getting Started with Jina Embeddings

The Jina-Embeddings model is based on a sophisticated BERT architecture and is particularly adept at handling long documents due to its support for an 8192 sequence length. The model has been pretrained on a vast dataset and leverages advanced techniques to produce high-quality embeddings. Here’s how you can use it:

1. Setting Up the Environment

• Install the Transformers library:

pip install transformers

• Install the Sentence Transformers library:

pip install -U sentence-transformers

2. Code Walkthrough with Analogy

To understand how to implement mean pooling correctly, let’s think of each embedding generated by the model as an ingredient in a smoothie. Each ingredient (token embedding) adds its flavor, but to achieve a balanced drink (sentence embedding), you need to blend them together effectively. Mean pooling is the blender that averages these ingredients to produce a smooth, delicious result. Here’s how you can do it:

import torch
import torch.nn.functional as F
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel

def mean_pooling(model_output, attention_mask):
    # Get the embeddings for each token
    token_embeddings = model_output[0]
    input_mask_expanded = attention_mask.unsqueeze(-1).expand(token_embeddings.size()).float()
    # Combine the token embeddings to get the sentence embedding
    return torch.sum(token_embeddings * input_mask_expanded, 1) / torch.clamp(input_mask_expanded.sum(1), min=1e-9)

sentences = ["How is the weather today?", "What is the current weather like today?"]
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("jinaai/jina-embeddings-v2-small-en")
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("jinaai/jina-embeddings-v2-small-en", trust_remote_code=True)

encoded_input = tokenizer(sentences, padding=True, truncation=True, return_tensors='pt')
with torch.no_grad():
    model_output = model(**encoded_input)
embeddings = mean_pooling(model_output, encoded_input['attention_mask'])
embeddings = F.normalize(embeddings, p=2, dim=1)

3. Using It for Sentence Similarity

Once you have the sentence embeddings, you can easily check the similarity between different sentences using cosine similarity:

from numpy.linalg import norm

cos_sim = lambda a, b: (a @ b.T) / (norm(a) * norm(b))

# Check similarity
similarity_score = cos_sim(embeddings[0], embeddings[1])
print(f"Cosine Similarity: {similarity_score.item()}")

Troubleshooting

• If you encounter a **Model Code Failed** error message, ensure you’ve set the trust_remote_code=True flag when initializing your model.
• To improve performance, try adjusting your input parameters and experimenting with different embedding models:

model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("jinaai/jina-embeddings-v2-small-en", trust_remote_code=True)
