DS RAG Embedder v1

Domain-specific embedding model for Data Science and ML documentation retrieval in RAG pipelines.

Fine-tuned from BAAI/bge-small-en-v1.5 on 600+ passages covering metrics, leakage, cross-validation, imbalance, MLOps, RAG, deep learning, deployment, and experiment design.

Quick start

from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer

model = SentenceTransformer("waghelad/ds-rag-embedder-v1")

query = (
    "Represent this Data Science question for retrieving relevant documentation: "
    "How do I detect data leakage in feature engineering?"
)
docs = [
    "Target encoding before split leaks label information. Fit encoders inside CV folds only.",
    "Accuracy is misleading when classes are imbalanced; use PR-AUC and per-class F1.",
]

q_emb = model.encode([query], normalize_embeddings=True)
d_emb = model.encode(docs, normalize_embeddings=True)
scores = q_emb @ d_emb.T
print(scores)

Python package

from ds_rag_embedder import DSRAGEmbedder

embedder = DSRAGEmbedder("waghelad/ds-rag-embedder-v1")
for hit in embedder.search("nested cross validation", docs, top_k=3):
    print(hit["score"], hit["document"][:100])

Query prefix (required)

Input	Prefix
Queries	`Represent this Data Science question for retrieving relevant documentation:`
Documents	None (encode as-is)

DSRAGEmbedder.encode_queries() applies this automatically.

Benchmark (DS RAG Eval v1)

Run locally after training:

git clone https://github.com/dgvj-work/ds-rag-embedder-v1
cd ds-rag-embedder-v1
python scripts/benchmark_report.py --model models/ds-rag-embedder-v1

Model	Recall@1	Recall@5	MRR	nDCG@10
all-MiniLM-L6-v2	0.621	0.828	0.708	0.740
bge-small-en-v1.5	0.506	0.609	0.558	0.567
ds-rag-embedder-v1	0.851	1.000	0.921	0.942

Full JSON: outputs/eval_results.json on GitHub.

Hybrid retrieval (BM25 + dense)

Production teams often combine lexical and dense search:

from ds_rag_embedder.rag import HybridRetriever

hybrid = HybridRetriever(embedder=embedder, documents=docs, alpha=0.65)
hits = hybrid.retrieve("SMOTE leakage cross validation", top_k=5).hits
