From the model card
The easiest way to starting using jina-embeddings-v2-base-es is to use Jina AI's Embedding API.
jina-embeddings-v2-base-es is a Spanish/English bilingual text embedding model supporting 8192 sequence length.
It is based on a BERT architecture (JinaBERT) that supports the symmetric bidirectional variant of ALiBi to allow longer sequence length.
We have designed it for high performance in mono-lingual & cross-lingual applications and trained it specifically to support mixed Spanish-English input without bias.
Additionally, we provide the following embedding models:
jina-embeddings-v2-base-es es un modelo (embedding) de texto bilingüe Inglés/Español que admite una longitud de secuencia de 8192.
Se basa en la arquitectura BERT (JinaBERT) que incorpora la variante bi-direccional simétrica de ALiBi para permitir una mayor longitud de secuencia.
Hemos diseñado este modelo para un alto rendimiento en aplicaciones monolingües y bilingües, y está entrenando específicamente para admitir entradas mixtas de español e inglés sin sesgo.
Adicionalmente, proporcionamos los siguientes modelos (embeddings):
jina-embeddings-v2-small-en: 33 million parameters.jina-embeddings-v2-base-en: 137 million parameters.jina-embeddings-v2-base-zh: Chinese-English Bilingual embeddings.jina-embeddings-v2-base-de: German-English Bilingual embeddings.jina-embeddings-v2-base-es: Spanish-English Bilingual embeddings (you are here).The data and training details are described in this technical report
Please apply mean pooling when integrating the model.
mean pooling takes all token embeddings from model output and averaging them at sentence/paragraph level.
It has been proved to be the most effective way to produce high-quality sentence embeddings.
We offer an encode function to deal with this.
However, if you would like to do it without using the default encode function:
import torch
import torch.nn.functional as F
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel
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 = ['How is the weather today?', 'What is the current weather like today?']
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('jinaai/jina-embeddings-v2-base-es')
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained('jinaai/jina-embeddings-v2-base-es', 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)
You can use Jina Embedding models directly from the transformers package:
!pip install transformers
from transformers import AutoModel
from numpy.linalg import norm
cos_sim = lambda a,b: (a @ b.T) / (norm(a)*norm(b))
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained('jinaai/jina-embeddings-v2-base-es', trust_remote_code=True) # trust_remote_code is needed to use the encode method
embeddings = model.encode(['How is the weather today?', '¿Qué tiempo hace hoy?'])
print(cos_sim(embeddings[0], embeddings[1]))
If you only want to handle shorter sequence, such as 2k, pass the max_length parameter to the encode function:
embeddings = model.encode(
['Very long ... document'],
max_length=2048
)
Or you can use the model with the sentence-transformers package:
from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer, util
model = SentenceTransformer("jinaai/jina-embeddings-v2-base-es", trust_remote_code=True)
embeddings = model.encode(['How is the weather today?', '¿Qué tiempo hace hoy?'])
print(util.cos_sim(embeddings[0], embeddings[1]))
And if you only want to handle shorter sequence, such as 2k, then you can set the model.max_seq_length
model.max_seq_length = 2048
According to the latest blog post from LLamaIndex,
In summary, to achieve the peak performance in both hit rate and MRR, the combination of OpenAI or JinaAI-Base embeddings with the CohereRerank/bge-reranker-large reranker stands out.
