About

What NegMPNet is

This is a negation-aware version of all-mpnet-base-v2. It is a sentence-transformers model: It maps sentences & paragraphs to a 768 dimensional dense vector space and can be used for tasks like clustering or semantic search. For further information, see our paper This is not correct! Negation-aware Evaluation of Language Generation Systems.

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 = ["This is an example sentence", "Each sentence is converted"]

model = SentenceTransformer("tum-nlp/NegMPNet")
embeddings = model.encode(sentences)
print(embeddings)

Negation-awareness

This model has a better sensitivity towards negations compared to its base model. You can try it yourself:

from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer, util
import torch

base_model = SentenceTransformer("sentence-transformers/all-mpnet-base-v2")
finetuned_model = SentenceTransformer("tum-nlp/NegMPNet")

def cos_similarities(references: list, candidates: list, model: SentenceTransformer, batch_size=8) -> torch.Tensor:
    assert len(references) == len(candidates), "Number of references and candidates must be equal"
    emb_ref = model.encode(references, batch_size=batch_size)
    emb_cand = model.encode(candidates, batch_size=batch_size)
    return torch.diag(util.cos_sim(emb_ref, emb_cand))

references = ["Ray charles is legendary.", "Ray charles is legendary"]
candidates = ["Ray charles is a legend.", "Ray charles isn't legendary."]
print(cos_similarities(references, candidates, base_model)) # prints tensor([0.9453, 0.8683]) -> no negation-awareness
print(cos_similarities(references, candidates, finetuned_model)) # prints tensor([0.9585, 0.4263]) -> sensitive to negation

Usage (HuggingFace Transformers)

Without sentence-transformers, you can use the model like this: First, you pass your input through the transformer model, then you have to apply the right pooling-operation on-top of the contextualized word 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("tum-nlp/NegMPNet")
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("tum-nlp/NegMPNet")

# 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

Call it like any OpenAI endpoint

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

Create an account — your API key is available in the console. 3M free tokens every 30 days with every new account.
