Ruri: Japanese General Text Embeddings

Notes: v3 models are out!
We recommend using the following v3 models going forward.

Usage

Direct Usage (Sentence Transformers)

First install the Sentence Transformers library:

pip install -U sentence-transformers fugashi sentencepiece unidic-lite

Then you can load this model and run inference.

import torch.nn.functional as F
from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer

# Download from the 🤗 Hub
model = SentenceTransformer("cl-nagoya/ruri-base")

# Don't forget to add the prefix "クエリ: " for query-side or "文章: " for passage-side texts.
sentences = [
    "クエリ: 瑠璃色はどんな色？",
    "文章: 瑠璃色（るりいろ）は、紫みを帯びた濃い青。名は、半貴石の瑠璃（ラピスラズリ、英: lapis lazuli）による。JIS慣用色名では「こい紫みの青」（略号 dp-pB）と定義している[1][2]。",
    "クエリ: ワシやタカのように、鋭いくちばしと爪を持った大型の鳥類を総称して「何類」というでしょう?",
    "文章: ワシ、タカ、ハゲワシ、ハヤブサ、コンドル、フクロウが代表的である。これらの猛禽類はリンネ前後の時代(17~18世紀)には鷲類・鷹類・隼類及び梟類に分類された。ちなみにリンネは狩りをする鳥を単一の目(もく)にまとめ、vultur(コンドル、ハゲワシ)、falco(ワシ、タカ、ハヤブサなど)、strix(フクロウ)、lanius(モズ)の4属を含めている。",
]

embeddings = model.encode(sentences, convert_to_tensor=True)
print(embeddings.size())
# [4, 768]

similarities = F.cosine_similarity(embeddings.unsqueeze(0), embeddings.unsqueeze(1), dim=2)
print(similarities)
# [[1.0000, 0.9421, 0.6844, 0.7167],
#  [0.9421, 1.0000, 0.6626, 0.6863],
#  [0.6844, 0.6626, 1.0000, 0.8785],
#  [0.7167, 0.6863, 0.8785, 1.0000]]
