Usage Instructions

Using Sentence Transformers

from sentence_transformers import CrossEncoder

model_name = "agentlans/snowflake-arctic-embed-s-nli"
model = CrossEncoder(model_name)
scores = model.predict(
    [
        ("A man is eating pizza", "A man eats something"),
        (
            "A black race car starts up in front of a crowd of people.",
            "A man is driving down a lonely road.",
        ),
    ]
)

label_mapping = ["entailment", "neutral", "contradiction"]
labels = [label_mapping[score_max] for score_max in scores.argmax(axis=1)]
print(labels)
# Output: ['entailment', 'contradiction']

Using Transformers Library

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSequenceClassification
import torch

model_name = "agentlans/snowflake-arctic-embed-s-nli"
model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained(model_name)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)

features = tokenizer(
    [
        "A man is eating pizza",
        "A black race car starts up in front of a crowd of people.",
    ],
    ["A man eats something", "A man is driving down a lonely road."],
    padding=True,
    truncation=True,
    return_tensors="pt",
)

model.eval()
with torch.no_grad():
    scores = model(**features).logits
    label_mapping = ["entailment", "neutral", "contradiction"]
    labels = [label_mapping[score_max] for score_max in scores.argmax(dim=1)]
    print(labels)
# Output: ['entailment', 'contradiction']

Limitations and Ethical Considerations

snowflake-arctic-embed-s-nli may reflect biases present in the training data. Users should evaluate its performance in specific contexts to ensure fairness and accuracy.

Conclusion

snowflake-arctic-embed-s-nli offers a robust solution for NLI tasks, enhancing Snowflake/snowflake-arctic-embed-s's capabilities with straightforward integration into existing frameworks. It aids developers in building intelligent applications that require nuanced language understanding.
