About

What indoSBERT-large is

This is a sentence-transformers model: It maps sentences & paragraphs to a 256 dimensional dense vector space and can be used for tasks like clustering or semantic search.

IndoSBERT is a modification of https://huggingface.co/indobenchmark/indobert-large-p1 that has been fine-tuned using the siamese network scheme inspired by SBERT (Reimers et al., 2019). This model was fine-tuned with the STS Dataset (2012-2016) which was machine-translated into Indonesian languange.

This model can provide meaningful semantic sentence embeddings for Indonesian sentences.

Usage (Sentence-Transformers)

Using this model becomes easy when you have sentence-transformers installed:

pip install -U sentence-transformers

Then you can use the model like this:

from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
sentences = ["Komposer favorit saya adalah Joe Hisaishi", "Sapo tahu enak banget"]

model = SentenceTransformer('denaya/indoSBERT-large')
embeddings = model.encode(sentences)
print(embeddings)

Using it via the API

Call it like any OpenAI endpoint

Once AxForge deploys indosbert-large for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (indosbert-large below is illustrative; you get the exact model name on deployment.)

$ curl -sS https://api.axforge.ai/v1/embeddings \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AXFORGE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"indosbert-large","input":"text to embed"}'
