A Siamese BERT architecture trained at character levels tokens for embedding based Fuzzy matching.

Usage (Sentence-Transformers)

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, util
word1 = "fuzzformer"
word1 = " ".join([char for char in word1]) ## divide the word to char level to fuzzy match
word2 = "fizzformer"
word2 = " ".join([char for char in word2]) ## divide the word to char level to fuzzy match
words = [word1, word2]

model = SentenceTransformer('shahrukhx01/paraphrase-mpnet-base-v2-fuzzy-matcher')
fuzzy_embeddings = model.encode(words)

print("Fuzzy Match score:")
print(util.cos_sim(fuzzy_embeddings[0], fuzzy_embeddings[1]))

Usage (HuggingFace Transformers)

    if not isinstance(a, torch.Tensor):
        a = torch.tensor(a)

        b = torch.tensor(b)

    if len(a.shape) == 1:
        a = a.unsqueeze(0)

    if len(b.shape) == 1:
        b = b.unsqueeze(0)

    a_norm = torch.nn.functional.normalize(a, p=2, dim=1)
    b_norm = torch.nn.functional.normalize(b, p=2, dim=1)

#Mean Pooling - Take attention mask into account for correct averaging

    return torch.sum(token_embeddings * input_mask_expanded, 1) / torch.clamp(input_mask_expanded.sum(1), min=1e-9)


# Words we want fuzzy embeddings for

# Tokenize sentences
encoded_input = tokenizer(words, padding=True, truncation=True, return_tensors='pt')

# Compute token embeddings
with torch.no_grad():
    model_output = model(**encoded_input)

# Perform pooling. In this case, max pooling.
fuzzy_embeddings = mean_pooling(model_output, encoded_input['attention_mask'])

print("Fuzzy Match score:")
print(cos_sim(fuzzy_embeddings[0], fuzzy_embeddings[1]))

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

A big thank you to Sentence Transformers as their implementation really expedited the implementation of Fuzzformer.

Inference Examples
This model does not have enough activity to be deployed to Inference API (serverless) yet. Increase its social visibility and check back later, or deploy to Inference Endpoints (dedicated) instead.
