# sentence-transformers/gtr-t5-large
This is a [sentence-transformers](https://www.SBERT.net) model: It maps sentences & paragraphs to a 768 dimensional dense vector space. The model was specifically trained for the task of sematic search.
This model was converted from the Tensorflow model [gtr-large-1](https://tfhub.dev/google/gtr/gtr-large/1) to PyTorch. When using this model, have a look at the publication: [Large Dual Encoders Are Generalizable Retrievers](https://arxiv.org/abs/2112.07899). The tfhub model and this PyTorch model can produce slightly different embeddings, however, when run on the same benchmarks, they produce identical results.
The model uses only the encoder from a T5-large model. The weights are stored in FP16.
## Usage (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 = ["This is an example sentence", "Each sentence is converted"]
model = SentenceTransformer('sentence-transformers/gtr-t5-large')
embeddings = model.encode(sentences)
print(embeddings)
```
The model requires sentence-transformers version 2.2.0 or newer.
## Evaluation Results
