# use-cmlm-multilingual
This is a pytorch version of the [universal-sentence-encoder-cmlm/multilingual-base-br](https://tfhub.dev/google/universal-sentence-encoder-cmlm/multilingual-base-br/1) model. It can be used to map 109 languages to a shared vector space. As the model is based [LaBSE](https://huggingface.co/sentence-transformers/LaBSE), it perform quite comparable on downstream tasks.


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

model = SentenceTransformer('sentence-transformers/use-cmlm-multilingual')
embeddings = model.encode(sentences)
print(embeddings)
```



## Evaluation Results



For an automated evaluation of this model, see the *Sentence Embeddings Benchmark*: [https://seb.sbert.net](https://seb.sbert.net?model_name=sentence-transformers/LaBSE)
