About
This is a sentence-transformers model: It maps sentences & paragraphs to a 1024 dimensional dense vector space and can be used for tasks like clustering or semantic search. rufimelo/Legal-BERTimbau-sts-large is based on Legal-BERTimbau-large which derives from BERTimbau large. It is adapted to the Portuguese legal domain and trained for STS on portuguese datasets.
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 = ["Isto é um exemplo", "Isto é um outro exemplo"]
model = SentenceTransformer('rufimelo/Legal-BERTimbau-sts-large')
embeddings = model.encode(sentences)
print(embeddings)
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('rufimelo/Legal-BERTimbau-sts-large')
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained('rufimelo/Legal-BERTimbau-sts-large')
# 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)

Using it via the API
Once AxForge deploys legal-bertimbau-sts-large for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (legal-bertimbau-sts-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":"legal-bertimbau-sts-large","input":"text to embed"}'
