BCEmbedding: Bilingual and Crosslingual Embedding for RAG

最新bce-embedding-base_v1相关信息，以及更多MTEB和RAG相关评测细节，请移步：

The latest "Updates" should be check in:

GitHub

主要特点(Key Features)：

中英双语，以及中英跨语种能力(Bilingual and Crosslingual capability in English and Chinese)；
RAG优化，适配更多真实业务场景(RAG adaptation for more domains, including Education, Law, Finance, Medical, Literature, FAQ, Textbook, Wikipedia, etc.)；
方便集成进langchain和llamaindex(Easy integrations for langchain and llamaindex in BCEmbedding)。

🌐 Bilingual and Crosslingual Superiority

Existing embedding models often encounter performance challenges in bilingual and crosslingual scenarios, particularly in Chinese, English and their crosslingual tasks. BCEmbedding, leveraging the strength of Youdao's translation engine, excels in delivering superior performance across monolingual, bilingual, and crosslingual settings.

EmbeddingModel supports Chinese (ch) and English (en) (more languages support will come soon), while RerankerModel supports Chinese (ch), English (en), Japanese (ja) and Korean (ko).

现有的单个语义表征模型在双语和跨语种场景中常常表现不佳，特别是在中文、英文及其跨语种任务中。BCEmbedding充分利用有道翻译引擎的优势，实现只需一个模型就可以在单语、双语和跨语种场景中表现出卓越的性能。

EmbeddingModel支持中文和英文（之后会支持更多语种）；RerankerModel支持中文，英文，日文和韩文。

💡 Key Features

Bilingual and Crosslingual Proficiency: Powered by Youdao's translation engine, excelling in Chinese, English and their crosslingual retrieval task, with upcoming support for additional languages.

📖 Manual

Installation

First, create a conda environment and activate it.

conda create --name bce python=3.10 -y
conda activate bce

Then install BCEmbedding for minimal installation:

pip install BCEmbedding==0.1.1

Or install from source:

git clone git@github.com:netease-youdao/BCEmbedding.git
cd BCEmbedding
pip install -v -e .

Quick Start

1. Based on `BCEmbedding`

Use EmbeddingModel, and cls pooler is default.

from BCEmbedding import EmbeddingModel

# list of sentences
sentences = ['sentence_0', 'sentence_1', ...]

# init embedding model
model = EmbeddingModel(model_name_or_path="maidalun1020/bce-embedding-base_v1")

# extract embeddings
embeddings = model.encode(sentences)

Use RerankerModel to calculate relevant scores and rerank:

from BCEmbedding import RerankerModel

# your query and corresponding passages
query = 'input_query'
passages = ['passage_0', 'passage_1', ...]

# construct sentence pairs
sentence_pairs = [[query, passage] for passage in passages]

# init reranker model
model = RerankerModel(model_name_or_path="maidalun1020/bce-reranker-base_v1")

# method 0: calculate scores of sentence pairs
scores = model.compute_score(sentence_pairs)

# method 1: rerank passages
rerank_results = model.rerank(query, passages)

NOTE:

In RerankerModel.rerank method, we provide an advanced preproccess that we use in production for making sentence_pairs, when "passages" are very long.

2. Based on `transformers`

For EmbeddingModel:

from transformers import AutoModel, AutoTokenizer

# list of sentences
sentences = ['sentence_0', 'sentence_1', ...]

# init model and tokenizer
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('maidalun1020/bce-embedding-base_v1')
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained('maidalun1020/bce-embedding-base_v1')

device = 'cuda'  # if no GPU, set "cpu"
model.to(device)

# get inputs
inputs = tokenizer(sentences, padding=True, truncation=True, max_length=512, return_tensors="pt")
inputs_on_device = {k: v.to(self.device) for k, v in inputs.items()}

# get embeddings
outputs = model(**inputs_on_device, return_dict=True)
embeddings = outputs.last_hidden_state[:, 0]  # cls pooler
embeddings = embeddings / embeddings.norm(dim=1, keepdim=True)  # normalize

For RerankerModel:

import torch
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSequenceClassification

# init model and tokenizer
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('maidalun1020/bce-reranker-base_v1')
model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained('maidalun1020/bce-reranker-base_v1')

device = 'cuda'  # if no GPU, set "cpu"
model.to(device)

# get inputs
inputs = tokenizer(sentence_pairs, padding=True, truncation=True, max_length=512, return_tensors="pt")
inputs_on_device = {k: v.to(device) for k, v in inputs.items()}

# calculate scores
scores = model(**inputs_on_device, return_dict=True).logits.view(-1,).float()
scores = torch.sigmoid(scores)

3. Based on `sentence_transformers`

For EmbeddingModel:

from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer

# list of sentences
sentences = ['sentence_0', 'sentence_1', ...]

# init embedding model
## New update for sentence-trnasformers. So clean up your "`SENTENCE_TRANSFORMERS_HOME`/maidalun1020_bce-embedding-base_v1" or "～/.cache/torch/sentence_transformers/maidalun1020_bce-embedding-base_v1" first for downloading new version.
model = SentenceTransformer("maidalun1020/bce-embedding-base_v1")

# extract embeddings
embeddings = model.encode(sentences, normalize_embeddings=True)

For RerankerModel:

from sentence_transformers import CrossEncoder

# init reranker model
model = CrossEncoder('maidalun1020/bce-reranker-base_v1', max_length=512)

# calculate scores of sentence pairs
scores = model.predict(sentence_pairs)

llm = OpenAI(model='gpt-3.5-turbo-0613', api_key=os.environ.get('OPENAI_API_KEY'), api_base=os.environ.get('OPENAI_BASE_URL'))
service_context = ServiceContext.from_defaults(llm=llm, embed_model=embed_model)

documents = SimpleDirectoryReader(input_files=["BCEmbedding/tools/eval_rag/eval_pdfs/Comp_en_llama2.pdf"]).load_data()
node_parser = SimpleNodeParser.from_defaults(chunk_size=512)
nodes = node_parser.get_nodes_from_documents(documents[0:36])
index = VectorStoreIndex(nodes, service_context=service_context)
query_engine = index.as_query_engine()
response = query_engine.query("What is llama?")

⚙️ Evaluation

We proveide a one-click script to sumarize evaluation results of embedding and reranker models as Embedding Models Evaluation Summary and Reranker Models Evaluation Summary.

我们提供了embedding和reranker模型的指标可视化一键脚本，输出一个markdown文件，详见Embedding模型指标汇总和Reranker模型指标汇总。

python BCEmbedding/evaluation/mteb/summarize_eval_results.py --results_dir {your_embedding_results_dir | your_reranker_results_dir}

Evaluate RAG by LlamaIndex

LlamaIndex is a famous data framework for LLM-based applications, particularly in RAG. Recently, the LlamaIndex Blog has evaluated the popular embedding and reranker models in RAG pipeline and attract great attention. Now, we follow its pipeline to evaluate our BCEmbedding.

LlamaIndex是一个著名的大模型应用的开源工具，在RAG中很受欢迎。最近，LlamaIndex博客对市面上常用的embedding和reranker模型进行RAG流程的评测，吸引广泛关注。下面我们按照该评测流程验证BCEmbedding在RAG中的效果。

First, install LlamaIndex:

pip install llama-index==0.9.22

1. Metrics Definition

Hit Rate:

Hit rate calculates the fraction of queries where the correct answer is found within the top-k retrieved documents. In simpler terms, it's about how often our system gets it right within the top few guesses. The larger, the better.
Mean Reciprocal Rank (MRR):

For each query, MRR evaluates the system's accuracy by looking at the rank of the highest-placed relevant document. Specifically, it's the average of the reciprocals of these ranks across all the queries. So, if the first relevant document is the top result, the reciprocal rank is 1; if it's second, the reciprocal rank is 1/2, and so on. The larger, the better.
- 命中率（Hit Rate）
  
  命中率计算的是在检索的前k个文档中找到正确答案的查询所占的比例。简单来说，它反映了我们的系统在前几次猜测中答对的频率。该指标越大越好。
- 平均倒数排名（Mean Reciprocal Rank，MRR）
  
  对于每个查询，MRR通过查看最高排名的相关文档的排名来评估系统的准确性。具体来说，它是在所有查询中这些排名的倒数的平均值。因此，如果第一个相关文档是排名最靠前的结果，倒数排名就是1；如果是第二个，倒数排名就是1/2，依此类推。该指标越大越好。

2. Reproduce LlamaIndex Blog

In order to compare our BCEmbedding with other embedding and reranker models fairly, we provide a one-click script to reproduce results of the LlamaIndex Blog, including our BCEmbedding:

为了公平起见，运行下面脚本，复现LlamaIndex博客的结果，将BCEmbedding与其他embedding和reranker模型进行对比分析：

# There should be two GPUs available at least.
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1 python BCEmbedding/tools/eval_rag/eval_llamaindex_reproduce.py

Then, sumarize the evaluation results by:

python BCEmbedding/tools/eval_rag/summarize_eval_results.py --results_dir results/rag_reproduce_results

Results Reproduced from the LlamaIndex Blog can be checked in Reproduced Summary of RAG Evaluation, with some obvious conclusions:

In WithoutReranker setting, our bce-embedding-base_v1 outperforms all the other embedding models.
With fixing the embedding model, our bce-reranker-base_v1 achieves the best performence.
The combination of bce-embedding-base_v1 and bce-reranker-base_v1 is SOTA.

输出的指标汇总详见 ***LlamaIndex RAG评测结果复现***。从该复现结果中，可以看出：
- 在WithoutReranker设置下（竖排对比），bce-embedding-base_v1比其他embedding模型效果都要好。
- 在固定embedding模型设置下，对比不同reranker效果（横排对比），bce-reranker-base_v1比其他reranker模型效果都要好。
- bce-embedding-base_v1和bce-reranker-base_v1组合，表现SOTA。

3. Broad Domain Adaptability

The evaluation of LlamaIndex Blog is monolingual, small amount of data, and specific domain (just including "llama2" paper). In order to evaluate the broad domain adaptability, bilingual and crosslingual capability, we follow the blog to build a multiple domains evaluation dataset (includding "Computer Science", "Physics", "Biology", "Economics", "Math", and "Quantitative Finance"), named CrosslingualMultiDomainsDataset, by OpenAI gpt-4-1106-preview for high quality.

在上述的LlamaIndex博客的评测数据只用了“llama2”这一篇文章，该评测是 单语种，小数据量，特定领域 的。为了兼容更真实更广的用户使用场景，评测算法模型的 领域泛化性，双语和跨语种能力，我们按照该博客的方法构建了一个多领域（计算机科学，物理学，生物学，经济学，数学，量化金融等）的双语种、跨语种评测数据，CrosslingualMultiDomainsDataset。为了保证构建数据的高质量，我们采用OpenAI的gpt-4-1106-preview。

First, run following cmd to evaluate the most popular and powerful embedding and reranker models:

# There should be two GPUs available at least.
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1 python BCEmbedding/tools/eval_rag/eval_llamaindex_multiple_domains.py

Then, run the following script to sumarize the evaluation results:

python BCEmbedding/tools/eval_rag/summarize_eval_results.py --results_dir results/rag_results

The summary of multiple domains evaluations can be seen in Multiple Domains Scenarios.
