2625
+
2626
+ FlagEmbedding can map any text to a low-dimensional dense vector which can be used for tasks like retrieval, classification, clustering, or semantic search.
2627
+ And it also can be used in vector database for LLMs.
2628

2651
+ ## Usage
2652
+
2653
+ * **Using FlagEmbedding**
2654
+ ```
2655
+ pip install flag_embedding
2656
+ ```
2657
+ ```python
2658
+ from flag_embedding import FlagModel
2659
+ sentences = ["样例数据-1", "样例数据-2"]
2660
+ model = FlagModel('BAAI/bge-large-zh', query_instruction_for_retrieval="为这个句子生成表示以用于检索相关文章:")
2661
+ embeddings = model.encode(sentences)
2662
+ print(embeddings)
2663
+
2664
+ # for retrieval task, please use encode_queries() which will automatically add the instruction to each query
2665
+ # corpus in retrieval task can still use encode() or encode_corpus()
2666
+ queries = ['query_1', 'query_2']
2667
+ passages = ["样例段落-1", "样例段落-2"]
2668
+ q_embeddings = model.encode_queries(queries)
2669
+ p_embeddings = model.encode(passages)
2670
+ scores = q_embeddings @ p_embeddings.T
2671
+ ```
2672
+ The value of argument `query_instruction_for_retrieval` see [Model List](https://github.com/FlagOpen/FlagEmbedding/tree/master#model-list).
2673
+
2674
+ FlagModel will use all available GPUs when encoding, please set `os.environ["CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES"]` to choose GPU.
2675
+
2676
+
2677
+ * **Using Sentence-Transformers**
2678
+
2679
+ Using this model also is easy when you have [sentence-transformers](https://www.SBERT.net) installed:
2680
+
2681
+ ```
2682
+ pip install -U sentence-transformers
2683
+ ```
2684
+ ```python
2685
+ from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
2686
+ sentences = ["样例数据-1", "样例数据-2"]
2687
+ model = SentenceTransformer('BAAI/bge-large-zh')
2688
+ embeddings = model.encode(sentences, normalize_embeddings=True)
2689
+ print(embeddings)
2690
+ ```
2691
+ For retrieval task,
2692
+ each query should start with a instruction (instructions see [Model List](https://github.com/FlagOpen/FlagEmbedding/tree/master#model-list)).
2693
+ ```python
2694
+ from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
2695
+ queries = ["手机开不了机怎么办?"]
2696
+ passages = ["样例段落-1", "样例段落-2"]
2697
+ instruction = "为这个句子生成表示以用于检索相关文章:"
2698
+
2699
+ model = SentenceTransformer('BAAI/bge-large-zh')
2700
+ q_embeddings = model.encode([instruction+q for q in queries], normalize_embeddings=True)
2701
+ p_embeddings = model.encode(passages, normalize_embeddings=True)
2702
+ scores = q_embeddings @ p_embeddings.T
2703
+ ```
2704
+
2705
+ * **Using HuggingFace Transformers**
2706
+
2707
+ With transformers package, you can use the model like this: First, you pass your input through the transformer model, then you select the last hidden state of first token (i.e., [CLS]) as the sentence embedding.
2708
+
2709
+ ```python
2710
+ from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel
2711
+ import torch
2712
+ # Sentences we want sentence embeddings for
2713
+ sentences = ["样例数据-1", "样例数据-2"]
2714
+
2715
+ # Load model from HuggingFace Hub
2716
+ tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('BAAI/bge-large-zh')
2717
+ model = AutoModel.from_pretrained('BAAI/bge-large-zh')
2718
+
2719
+ # Tokenize sentences
2720
+ encoded_input = tokenizer(sentences, padding=True, truncation=True, return_tensors='pt')
2721
+ # for retrieval task, add a instruction to query
2722
+ # encoded_input = tokenizer([instruction + q for q in queries], padding=True, truncation=True, return_tensors='pt')
2723
+
2724
+ # Compute token embeddings
2725
+ with torch.no_grad():
2726
+ model_output = model(**encoded_input)
2727
+ # Perform pooling. In this case, cls pooling.
2728
+ sentence_embeddings = model_output[0][:, 0]
2729
+ # normalize embeddings
2730
+ sentence_embeddings = torch.nn.functional.normalize(sentence_embeddings, p=2, dim=1)
2731
+ print("Sentence embeddings:", sentence_embeddings)
2732
+ ```
2733
+
2734
+
2735
+ ## Evaluation
2736
+ `baai-general-embedding` models achieve **state-of-the-art performance on both MTEB and C-MTEB leaderboard!**
2737
+ More details and evaluation scripts see [benchemark](benchmark/README.md).

2784
+ ## Train
2785
+ This section will introduce the way we used to train the general embedding.
2786
+ The training scripts are in [flag_embedding](https://github.com/FlagOpen/FlagEmbedding/tree/master/flag_embedding/baai_general_embedding/),
2787
+ and we provide some examples to do [pre-train](https://github.com/FlagOpen/FlagEmbedding/tree/master/examples/pretrain/) and [fine-tune](https://github.com/FlagOpen/FlagEmbedding/tree/master/examples/finetune).
2788
+
2789
+
2790
+ **1. RetroMAE Pre-train**
2791
+ We pre-train the model following the method [retromae](https://github.com/staoxiao/RetroMAE),
2792
+ which shows promising improvement in retrieval task ([paper](https://aclanthology.org/2022.emnlp-main.35.pdf)).
2793
+ The pre-training was conducted on 24 A100(40G) GPUs with a batch size of 720.
2794
+ In retromae, the mask ratio of the encoder and decoder are 0.3, and 0.5 respectively.
2795
+ We used the AdamW optimizer and the learning rate is 2e-5.
2796
+
2797
+ **Pre-training data**:
2798
+ - English:
2799
+ - [Pile](https://pile.eleuther.ai/)
2800
+ - [wikipedia](https://huggingface.co/datasets/wikipedia)
2801
+ - [msmarco](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Tevatron/msmarco-passage-corpus)
2802
+ - Chinese:
2803
+ - Subset of [wudao](https://github.com/BAAI-WuDao/Data)
2804
+ - [baidu-baike](https://baike.baidu.com/)
2805
+
2806
+
2807
+ **2. Finetune**
2808
+ We fine-tune the model using a contrastive objective.
2809
+ The format of input data is a triple`(query, positive, negative)`.
2810
+ Besides the negative in the triple, we also adopt in-batch negatives strategy.
2811
+ We employ the cross-device negatives sharing method to share negatives among different GPUs,
2812
+ which can dramatically **increase the number of negatives**.
2813
+
2814
+ We trained our model on 48 A100(40G) GPUs with a large batch size of 32,768 (so there are **65,535** negatives for each query in a batch).
2815
+ We used the AdamW optimizer and the learning rate is 1e-5.
2816
+ The temperature for contrastive loss is 0.01.
2817
+
2818
+ For the version with `*-instrcution`, we add instruction to the query for the retrieval task in the training.
2819
+ For English, the instruction is `Represent this sentence for searching relevant passages: `;
2820
+ For Chinese, the instruction is `为这个句子生成表示以用于检索相关文章:`.
2821
+ In the evaluation, the instruction should be added for sentence to passages retrieval task, not be added for other tasks.
2822
+
2823
+
2824
+ The finetune script is accessible in this repository: [flag_embedding](https://github.com/FlagOpen/FlagEmbedding/tree/master/flag_embedding/baai_general_embedding/README.md).
2825
+ You can easily finetune your model with it.
2826
+
2827
+ **Training data**:
2828
+
2829
+ - For English, we collect 230M text pairs from [wikipedia](https://huggingface.co/datasets/wikipedia), [cc-net](https://github.com/facebookresearch/cc_net), and so on.
2830
+
2831
+ - For Chinese, we collect 120M text pairs from [wudao](https://github.com/BAAI-WuDao/Data), [simclue](https://github.com/CLUEbenchmark/SimCLUE) and so on.
2832
+
2833
+ **The data collection is to be released in the future.**
2834
+
2835
+ We will continually update the embedding models and training codes,
2836
+ hoping to promote the development of the embedding model community.
