BAAI-Multilingual-Large

BAAI-Multilingual-Large is a LLM-based multilingual text embedding model. It is trained on a diverse range of languages and tasks based on google/gemma-2-9b. BAAI-Multilingual-Large's training data spans a broad range of languages, including English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, French, and more. Additionally, the data covers a variety of task types, such as retrieval, classification, and clustering. The model exhibits state-of-the-art (SOTA) results on several multilingual benchmarks.

Usage

Using FlagEmbedding

Install:

pip install -U FlagEmbedding

from FlagEmbedding import FlagLLMModel
queries = ["how much protein should a female eat", "summit define"]
documents = [
    "As a general guideline, the CDC's average requirement of protein for women ages 19 to 70 is 46 grams per day. But, as you can see from this chart, you'll need to increase that if you're expecting or training for a marathon. Check out the chart below to see how much protein you should be eating each day.",
    "Definition of summit for English Language Learners. : 1  the highest point of a mountain : the top of a mountain. : 2  the highest level. : 3  a meeting or series of meetings between the leaders of two or more governments."
]
model = FlagLLMModel('hanhainebula/baai-multilingual-large', 
                     query_instruction_for_retrieval="Given a web search query, retrieve relevant passages that answer the query.",
                     query_instruction_format="<instruct>{}\n<query>{}",
                     use_fp16=True) # Setting use_fp16 to True speeds up computation with a slight performance degradation
embeddings_1 = model.encode_queries(queries)
embeddings_2 = model.encode_corpus(documents)
similarity = embeddings_1 @ embeddings_2.T
print(similarity)
# [[ 0.559     0.01646 ]
#  [-0.002686  0.4995  ]]

Using Sentence Transformers

from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
import torch

# Load the model, optionally in float16 precision for faster inference
model = SentenceTransformer("hanhainebula/baai-multilingual-large", model_kwargs={"torch_dtype": torch.float16})

# Prepare a prompt given an instruction
instruction = 'Given a web search query, retrieve relevant passages that answer the query.'
prompt = f'<instruct>{instruction}\n<query>'
# Prepare queries and documents
queries = [
    'how much protein should a female eat',
    'summit define',
]
documents = [
    "As a general guideline, the CDC's average requirement of protein for women ages 19 to 70 is 46 grams per day. But, as you can see from this chart, you'll need to increase that if you're expecting or training for a marathon. Check out the chart below to see how much protein you should be eating each day.",
    "Definition of summit for English Language Learners. : 1  the highest point of a mountain : the top of a mountain. : 2  the highest level. : 3  a meeting or series of meetings between the leaders of two or more governments."
]

# Compute the query and document embeddings
query_embeddings = model.encode(queries, prompt=prompt)
document_embeddings = model.encode(documents)

# Compute the cosine similarity between the query and document embeddings
similarities = model.similarity(query_embeddings, document_embeddings)
print(similarities)
# tensor([[ 0.5591,  0.0164],
#         [-0.0026,  0.4993]], dtype=torch.float16)
