# E5-large-v2-t2t-nl
This model is a fine-tuned version of [clips/e5-large-v2-t2t](https://huggingface.co/clips/e5-large-v2-t2t).
## Usage
Below is an example to encode queries and passages from the MS-MARCO passage ranking dataset.
```python
import torch.nn.functional as F
from torch import Tensor
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel
def average_pool(last_hidden_states: Tensor,
attention_mask: Tensor) -> Tensor:
last_hidden = last_hidden_states.masked_fill(~attention_mask[..., None].bool(), 0.0)
return last_hidden.sum(dim=1) / attention_mask.sum(dim=1)[..., None]
# Each input text should start with "query: " or "passage: ".
# For tasks other than retrieval, you can simply use the "query: " prefix.
input_texts = [
'query: hoeveel eiwitten moet een vrouw eten',
'query: top definieer',
"passage: Als algemene richtlijn geldt dat de gemiddelde eiwitbehoefte voor vrouwen van 19 tot 70 jaar volgens de CDC 46 gram per dag bedraagt. Maar, zoals je in deze tabel kunt zien, moet je dit verhogen als je zwanger bent of traint voor een marathon. Bekijk de onderstaande tabel om te zien hoeveel eiwitten je dagelijks zou moeten eten.",
"passage: Definitie van top voor leerlingen Engels. : 1 het hoogste punt van een berg : de top van een berg. : 2 het hoogste niveau. : 3 een bijeenkomst of reeks bijeenkomsten tussen de leiders van twee of meer regeringen."
]
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('clips/e5-large-v2-t2t-nl')
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained('clips/e5-large-v2-t2t-nl')
# Tokenize the input texts
batch_dict = tokenizer(input_texts, max_length=512, padding=True, truncation=True, return_tensors='pt')
outputs = model(**batch_dict)
embeddings = average_pool(outputs.last_hidden_state, batch_dict['attention_mask'])
# normalize embeddings
embeddings = F.normalize(embeddings, p=2, dim=1)
scores = (embeddings[:2] @ embeddings[2:].T) * 100
print(scores.tolist())
```
Below is an example for usage with sentence_transformers.
```python
from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
# Load the model from Hugging Face
model = SentenceTransformer("clips/e5-large-v2-t2t-nl")
# Perform inference using encode_query/encode_document for retrieval,
# or encode_query for general purpose embeddings. Prompt prefixes
# are automatically added with these two methods.
queries = [
'hoeveel eiwitten moet een vrouw eten',
'top definieer',
]
documents = [
'Als algemene richtlijn geldt dat de gemiddelde eiwitbehoefte voor vrouwen van 19 tot 70 jaar volgens de CDC 46 gram per dag bedraagt. Maar, zoals je in deze tabel kunt zien, moet je dit verhogen als je zwanger bent of traint voor een marathon. Bekijk de onderstaande tabel om te zien hoeveel eiwitten je dagelijks zou moeten eten.',
'Definitie van top voor leerlingen Engels. : 1 het hoogste punt van een berg : de top van een berg. : 2 het hoogste niveau. : 3 een bijeenkomst of reeks bijeenkomsten tussen de leiders van twee of meer regeringen.',
]
query_embeddings = model.encode_query(queries)
document_embeddings = model.encode_document(documents)
print(query_embeddings.shape, document_embeddings.shape)
# (2, 1024) (2, 1024)
similarities = model.similarity(query_embeddings, document_embeddings)
# tensor([[0.7207, 0.2599],
# [0.2797, 0.6588]])
```
