# `semantic_xlmr`
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**.
<!--- Describe your model here -->
## Model Details
- Model name: semantic_xlmr
- Model version: 1.0
- Architecture: Sentence Transformer
- Language: Multilingual ( fine-tuned for Bengali Language)
## Training
The model was fine-tuned using **Multilingual Knowledge Distillation** method. We took `paraphrase-distilroberta-base-v2` as the teacher model and `xlm-roberta-large` as the student model.

## Intended Use:
- **Primary Use Case:** Semantic similarity, clustering, and semantic searches
- **Potential Use Cases:** Document retrieval, information retrieval, recommendation systems, chatbot systems , FAQ system
## Usage
### Using 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 = ["I sing in bengali", "আমি বাংলায় গান গাই"]
model = SentenceTransformer('headlesstech/semantic_xlmr')
embeddings = model.encode(sentences)
print(embeddings)
```
### Using 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 = ["I sing in bengali", "আমি বাংলায় গান গাই"]
# Load model from HuggingFace Hub
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('headlesstech/semantic_xlmr')
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained('headlesstech/semantic_xlmr')
# 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)
```
