# mmarco-sentence-BERTino

This is a [sentence-transformers](https://www.SBERT.net) model: It maps sentences & paragraphs to a 768 dimensional dense vector space and can be used for tasks like clustering or semantic search. It was trained on [mmarco](https://huggingface.co/datasets/unicamp-dl/mmarco/viewer/italian/train).

## Usage (Sentence-Transformers)

Using this model becomes easy when you have [sentence-transformers](https://www.SBERT.net) installed:
```
pip install -U sentence-transformers
```
Then you can use the model like this:
```python
from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
sentences = ["Questo è un esempio di frase", "Questo è un ulteriore esempio"]

model = SentenceTransformer('efederici/mmarco-sentence-BERTino')
embeddings = model.encode(sentences)
print(embeddings)
```
## Usage (HuggingFace Transformers)

Without [sentence-transformers](https://www.SBERT.net), 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.
```python
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 = ["Questo è un esempio di frase", "Questo è un ulteriore esempio"]

# Load model from HuggingFace Hub
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('efederici/mmarco-sentence-BERTino')
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained('efederici/mmarco-sentence-BERTino')

# 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)
```
