## Usage (text2vec)
Using this model becomes easy when you have [text2vec](https://github.com/shibing624/text2vec) installed:

```
pip install -U text2vec
```

Then you can use the model like this:

```python
from text2vec import SentenceModel
sentences = ['如何更换花呗绑定银行卡', 'How to replace the Huabei bundled bank card']

model = SentenceModel('shibing624/text2vec-base-multilingual')
embeddings = model.encode(sentences)
print(embeddings)
```

## Usage (HuggingFace Transformers)
Without [text2vec](https://github.com/shibing624/text2vec), 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.

Install transformers:
```
pip install transformers
```

Then load model and predict:
```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)

# Load model from HuggingFace Hub
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('shibing624/text2vec-base-multilingual')
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained('shibing624/text2vec-base-multilingual')
sentences = ['如何更换花呗绑定银行卡', 'How to replace the Huabei bundled bank card']
# 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)
```

## Usage (sentence-transformers)
[sentence-transformers](https://github.com/UKPLab/sentence-transformers) is a popular library to compute dense vector representations for sentences.

Install sentence-transformers:
```
pip install -U sentence-transformers
```

Then load model and predict:

```python
from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer

m = SentenceTransformer("shibing624/text2vec-base-multilingual")
sentences = ['如何更换花呗绑定银行卡', 'How to replace the Huabei bundled bank card']

sentence_embeddings = m.encode(sentences)
print("Sentence embeddings:")
print(sentence_embeddings)
```


## Full Model Architecture
```
CoSENT(
  (0): Transformer({'max_seq_length': 256, 'do_lower_case': False}) with Transformer model: BertModel 
  (1): Pooling({'word_embedding_dimension': 384, 'pooling_mode_mean_tokens': True})
)
```


## Intended uses

Our model is intented to be used as a sentence and short paragraph encoder. Given an input text, it ouptuts a vector which captures 
the semantic information. The sentence vector may be used for information retrieval, clustering or sentence similarity tasks.

By default, input text longer than 256 word pieces is truncated.


## Training procedure

### Pre-training 

We use the pretrained [`sentence-transformers/paraphrase-multilingual-MiniLM-L12-v2`](https://huggingface.co/sentence-transformers/paraphrase-multilingual-MiniLM-L12-v2) model. 
Please refer to the model card for more detailed information about the pre-training procedure.

### Fine-tuning 

We fine-tune the model using a contrastive objective. Formally, we compute the cosine similarity from each 
possible sentence pairs from the batch.
We then apply the rank loss by comparing with true pairs and false pairs.
