PatriLaSE

Patristic Latin Sentence Embeddings

This is a Latin sentence-transformers model finetuned from bowphs/LaBerta. It maps Latin sentences and paragraphs to a dense vector space and can be used for semantic correspondances detection or information retrieval (e.g. for detection of quotations and allusions).

Usage

Direct Usage (Sentence Transformers)

pip install -U sentence-transformers

from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer

model = SentenceTransformer("Tdelaselle/PatriLaSE")
sentences = [
    "quis ergo sanat omnes languores tuos nisi qui propitius fit omnibus iniquitatibus tuis?",
    "qui propitiatur omnibus iniquitatibus tuis qui sanat omnes infirmitates tuas",
]
embeddings = model.encode(sentences)
print(embeddings.shape)
