static-retrieval-mrl-en is an open-weight embedding model from sentence-transformers. static-retrieval-mrl-en-v1 (BF16) weighs 125 MB; the smallest configuration that runs it is RTX 3060 12 GB.

  • static-retrieval-mrl-en-v1 is a sentence-transformers model designed for semantic search and sentence-similarity tasks in English.
  • It maps text to a 1024-dimensional vector space using pre-computed token embeddings without active parameters, which allows for significantly faster inference speeds compared to standard attention-based models.
  • The model supports Matryoshka loss for dimensionality truncation and is released under the apache-2.0 license.

From the model card

What sentence-transformers says about static-retrieval-mrl-en

Read the model card

This is a sentence-transformers model trained on the gooaq, msmarco, squad, s2orc, allnli, paq, trivia_qa, msmarco_10m, swim_ir, pubmedqa, miracl, mldr and mr_tydi datasets. It maps sentences & paragraphs to a 1024-dimensional dense vector space and is designed to be used for semantic search.

Read our Static Embeddings blogpost to learn more about this model and how it was trained.

  • 0 Active Parameters: This model does not use any active parameters, instead consisting exclusively of averaging pre-computed token embeddings.
  • 100x to 400x faster: On CPU, this model is 100x to 400x faster than common options like all-mpnet-base-v2. On GPU, it's 10x to 25x faster.
  • Matryoshka: This model was trained with a Matryoshka loss, allowing you to truncate the embeddings for faster retrieval at minimal performance costs.
  • Evaluations: See Evaluations for details on performance on NanoBEIR, embedding speed, and Matryoshka dimensionality truncation. In short, this model is 87.4% as performant as the commonly used all-mpnet-base-v2.
  • Training Script: See train.py for the training script used to train this model from scratch.

See static-similarity-mrl-multilingual-v1 for a general-purpose multilingual static embedding model. It's been trained for semantic textual similarity, paraphrase mining, text classification, clustering, and more.

Usage

Direct Usage (Sentence Transformers)

First install the Sentence Transformers library:

pip install -U sentence-transformers

Then you can load this model and run inference.

from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer

model = SentenceTransformer("tomaarsen/static-retrieval-mrl-en-v1")
# Run inference

    'To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of gadofosveset-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) angiography in the assessment of carotid artery stenosis, with digital subtraction angiography (DSA) as the reference standard, and to determine the value of reading first-pass, steady-state, and "combined" (first-pass plus steady-state) MR angiograms.',
    'In a longitudinal study we investigated in vivo alterations of CVO during neuroinflammation, applying Gadofluorine M- (Gf) enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, an animal model of multiple sclerosis. SJL/J mice were monitored by Gadopentate dimeglumine- (Gd-DTPA) and Gf-enhanced MRI after adoptive transfer of proteolipid-protein-specific T cells. Mean Gf intensity ratios were calculated individually for different CVO and correlated to the clinical disease course. Subsequently, the tissue distribution of fluorescence-labeled Gf as well as the extent of cellular inflammation was assessed in corresponding histological slices.',
