About

What jina-embedding-s-en is

Intented Usage & Model Info

jina-embedding-s-en-v1 is a language model that has been trained using Jina AI's Linnaeus-Clean dataset. This dataset consists of 380 million pairs of sentences, which include both query-document pairs. These pairs were obtained from various domains and were carefully selected through a thorough cleaning process. The Linnaeus-Full dataset, from which the Linnaeus-Clean dataset is derived, originally contained 1.6 billion sentence pairs.

The model has a range of use cases, including information retrieval, semantic textual similarity, text reranking, and more.

Usage

Use with Jina AI Finetuner

!pip install finetuner
import finetuner

model = finetuner.build_model('jinaai/jina-embedding-s-en-v1')
embeddings = finetuner.encode(
    model=model,
    data=['how is the weather today', 'What is the current weather like today?']
)
print(finetuner.cos_sim(embeddings[0], embeddings[1]))

Use with sentence-transformers:

from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
from sentence_transformers.util import cos_sim

sentences = ['how is the weather today', 'What is the current weather like today?']

model = SentenceTransformer('jinaai/jina-embedding-s-en-v1')
embeddings = model.encode(sentences)
print(cos_sim(embeddings[0], embeddings[1]))

Fine-tuning

Please consider Finetuner.

Plans

  1. The development of jina-embedding-s-en-v2 is currently underway with two main objectives: improving performance and increasing the maximum sequence length.
  2. We are currently working on a bilingual embedding model that combines English and X language. The upcoming model will be called jina-embedding-s/b/l-de-v1.

Using it via the API

Call it like any OpenAI endpoint

Once AxForge deploys jina-embedding-s-en for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (jina-embedding-s-en 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":"jina-embedding-s-en","input":"text to embed"}'
