bowdpr_marco_ft
This is a fine-tuned retriever on the MS-MARCO Passage Ranking Task (without distillation). We introduce a novel pre-training paradigm, Bag-of-Word Prediction, for dense retrieval. This retriever is initialized from a base-sized pre-trained model, bowdpr/bowdpr_marco. Please refer to our paper for detailed pre-training and fine-tuning settings.
Finetuning on MS-MARCO dataset involves a two-stage pipeline
- s1: BM25 negs
- s2: Mined negatives from s1
Usage (Sentence-Transformers)
This is a sentence-transformers model: It maps sentences & paragraphs to a 768 dimensional dense vector space and can be used for tasks like clustering or semantic search.
Using this model becomes easy when you have sentence-transformers installed:
pip install -U sentence-transformers
Then you can use the model like this:
from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
sentences = ["This is an example sentence", "Each sentence is converted"]
model = SentenceTransformer('bowdpr/bowdpr_marco_ft')
embeddings = model.encode(sentences)
print(embeddings)
Usage (HuggingFace Transformers)
Without sentence-transformers, 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.
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel
import torch
def cls_pooling(model_output, attention_mask):
return model_output[0][:,0]
# Sentences we want sentence embeddings for
sentences = ['This is an example sentence', 'Each sentence is converted']
# Load model from HuggingFace Hub
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('bowdpr/bowdpr_marco_ft')
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained('bowdpr/bowdpr_marco_ft')
# 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, cls pooling.
sentence_embeddings = cls_pooling(model_output, encoded_input['attention_mask'])
print("Sentence embeddings:")
print(sentence_embeddings)
