gte-Qwen2-7B-instruct

gte-Qwen2-7B-instruct is the latest model in the gte (General Text Embedding) model family that ranks No.1 in both English and Chinese evaluations on the Massive Text Embedding Benchmark MTEB benchmark (as of June 16, 2024).

Recently, the Qwen team released the Qwen2 series models, and we have trained the gte-Qwen2-7B-instruct model based on the Qwen2-7B LLM model. Compared to the gte-Qwen1.5-7B-instruct model, the gte-Qwen2-7B-instruct model uses the same training data and training strategies during the finetuning stage, with the only difference being the upgraded base model to Qwen2-7B. Considering the improvements in the Qwen2 series models compared to the Qwen1.5 series, we can also expect consistent performance enhancements in the embedding models.

The model incorporates several key advancements:

  • Integration of bidirectional attention mechanisms, enriching its contextual understanding.
  • Instruction tuning, applied solely on the query side for streamlined efficiency
  • Comprehensive training across a vast, multilingual text corpus spanning diverse domains and scenarios. This training leverages both weakly supervised and supervised data, ensuring the model's applicability across numerous languages and a wide array of downstream tasks.

Usage

Sentence Transformers

from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer

model = SentenceTransformer("Alibaba-NLP/gte-Qwen2-7B-instruct", trust_remote_code=True)
# In case you want to reduce the maximum length:
model.max_seq_length = 8192

queries = [
    "how much protein should a female eat",
    "summit define",
]
documents = [
    "As a general guideline, the CDC's average requirement of protein for women ages 19 to 70 is 46 grams per day. But, as you can see from this chart, you'll need to increase that if you're expecting or training for a marathon. Check out the chart below to see how much protein you should be eating each day.",
    "Definition of summit for English Language Learners. : 1  the highest point of a mountain : the top of a mountain. : 2  the highest level. : 3  a meeting or series of meetings between the leaders of two or more governments.",
]

query_embeddings = model.encode(queries, prompt_name="query")
document_embeddings = model.encode(documents)

scores = (query_embeddings @ document_embeddings.T) * 100
print(scores.tolist())

Observe the config_sentence_transformers.json to see all pre-built prompt names. Otherwise, you can use model.encode(queries, prompt="Instruct: ...\nQuery: " to use a custom prompt of your choice.
