bkai-foundation-models/vietnamese-bi-encoder

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.

We train the model on a merged training dataset that consists of:

• MS Macro (translated into Vietnamese)
• SQuAD v2 (translated into Vietnamese)
• 80% of the training set from the Legal Text Retrieval Zalo 2021 challenge

We use phobert-base-v2 as the pre-trained backbone.

Here are the results on the remaining 20% of the training set from the Legal Text Retrieval Zalo 2021 challenge:

Pretrained Model	Training Datasets	Acc@1	Acc@10	Acc@100	Pre@10	MRR@10
Vietnamese-SBERT	-	32.34	52.97	89.84	7.05	45.30
PhoBERT-base-v2	MSMACRO	47.81	77.19	92.34	7.72	58.37
PhoBERT-base-v2	MSMACRO + SQuADv2.0 + 80% Zalo	73.28	93.59	98.85	9.36	80.73

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

# INPUT TEXT MUST BE ALREADY WORD-SEGMENTED!
sentences = ["Cô ấy là một người vui_tính .", "Cô ấy cười nói suốt cả ngày ."]

model = SentenceTransformer('bkai-foundation-models/vietnamese-bi-encoder')
embeddings = model.encode(sentences)
print(embeddings)

Usage (Widget HuggingFace)

The widget use custom pipeline on top of the default pipeline by adding additional word segmenter before PhobertTokenizer. So you do not need to segment words before using the API:

An example could be seen in Hosted inference API.

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


#Mean Pooling - Take attention mask into account for correct averaging
def mean_pooling(model_output, attention_mask):
    token_embeddings = model_output[0] #First element of model_output contains all token embeddings
    input_mask_expanded = attention_mask.unsqueeze(-1).expand(token_embeddings.size()).float()
    return torch.sum(token_embeddings * input_mask_expanded, 1) / torch.clamp(input_mask_expanded.sum(1), min=1e-9)


# Sentences we want sentence embeddings, we could use pyvi, underthesea, RDRSegment to segment words
sentences = ['Cô ấy là một người vui_tính .', 'Cô ấy cười nói suốt cả ngày .']

# Load model from HuggingFace Hub
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('bkai-foundation-models/vietnamese-bi-encoder')
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained('bkai-foundation-models/vietnamese-bi-encoder')

# 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, mean pooling.
sentence_embeddings = mean_pooling(model_output, encoded_input['attention_mask'])

print("Sentence embeddings:")
print(sentence_embeddings)
