# sentence-transformers/clip-ViT-B-32

This is a [sentence-transformers](https://www.SBERT.net) model: It maps sentences & paragraphs to a None dimensional dense vector space and can be used for tasks like clustering or semantic search.



## 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/clip-ViT-B-32')
embeddings = model.encode(sentences)
print(embeddings)
```



## Evaluation Results



For an automated evaluation of this model, see the *Sentence Embeddings Benchmark*: [https://seb.sbert.net](https://seb.sbert.net?model_name=sentence-transformers/clip-ViT-B-32)
