Usage (Sentence-Transformers)

⚠️ Our embedding models require the use of specific prefixes and suffixes when encoding texts. For this model, queries should be prefixed with "query: " and passages with "passage: " ⚠️

You can use the model like this with sentence-transformers:

from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
from sentence_transformers.util import cos_sim

query_prefix = "query: "
answer_prefix = "passage: "
queries = [query_prefix + "Jak dożyć 100 lat?"]
answers = [
    answer_prefix + "Trzeba zdrowo się odżywiać i uprawiać sport.",
    answer_prefix + "Trzeba pić alkohol, imprezować i jeździć szybkimi autami.",
    answer_prefix + "Gdy trwała kampania politycy zapewniali, że rozprawią się z zakazem niedzielnego handlu."
]
model = SentenceTransformer("sdadas/mmlw-e5-small")
queries_emb = model.encode(queries, convert_to_tensor=True, show_progress_bar=False)
answers_emb = model.encode(answers, convert_to_tensor=True, show_progress_bar=False)

best_answer = cos_sim(queries_emb, answers_emb).argmax().item()
print(answers[best_answer])
# Trzeba zdrowo się odżywiać i uprawiać sport.

Evaluation Results
