# IndicSBERT-STS

This is a IndicSBERT model (<a href='https://huggingface.co/l3cube-pune/indic-sentence-bert-nli'>l3cube-pune/indic-sentence-bert-nli</a>) trained on the STS dataset of ten major Indian Languages. <br>
The single model works for English, Hindi, Marathi, Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Gujarati, Oriya, Punjabi, Malayalam, and Bengali.
The model also has cross-lingual capabilities. <br>
Released as a part of project MahaNLP: https://github.com/l3cube-pune/MarathiNLP <br>

Generic Indic Sentence BERT model is shared here : <a href='https://huggingface.co/l3cube-pune/indic-sentence-bert-nli'>l3cube-pune/indic-sentence-bert-nli</a> <br>
More details on the dataset, models, and baseline results can be found in our [paper] (https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.11434)

## Usage (Sentence-Transformers)

Using this model becomes easy when you have [sentence-transformers](https://www.SBERT.net) installed:

```
pip install -U sentence-transformers
```

Then you can use the model like this:

```python
from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
sentences = ["This is an example sentence", "Each sentence is converted"]

model = SentenceTransformer('{MODEL_NAME}')
embeddings = model.encode(sentences)
print(embeddings)
```



## Usage (HuggingFace Transformers)
Without [sentence-transformers](https://www.SBERT.net), 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.

```python
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 for
sentences = ['This is an example sentence', 'Each sentence is converted']

# Load model from HuggingFace Hub
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('{MODEL_NAME}')
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained('{MODEL_NAME}')

# 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)
```
