MFAQ

We present a multilingual FAQ retrieval model trained on the MFAQ dataset, it ranks candidate answers according to a given question.

Installation

pip install sentence-transformers transformers

Usage

You can use MFAQ with sentence-transformers or directly with a HuggingFace model. In both cases, questions need to be prepended with <Q>, and answers with <A>.

Sentence Transformers

from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer

question = "<Q>How many models can I host on HuggingFace?"
answer_1 = "<A>All plans come with unlimited private models and datasets."
answer_2 = "<A>AutoNLP is an automatic way to train and deploy state-of-the-art NLP models, seamlessly integrated with the Hugging Face ecosystem."
answer_3 = "<A>Based on how much training data and model variants are created, we send you a compute cost and payment link - as low as $10 per job."

model = SentenceTransformer('clips/mfaq')
embeddings = model.encode([question, answer_1, answer_3, answer_3])
print(embeddings)

HuggingFace Transformers

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel
import torch

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)

question = "<Q>How many models can I host on HuggingFace?"
answer_1 = "<A>All plans come with unlimited private models and datasets."
answer_2 = "<A>AutoNLP is an automatic way to train and deploy state-of-the-art NLP models, seamlessly integrated with the Hugging Face ecosystem."
answer_3 = "<A>Based on how much training data and model variants are created, we send you a compute cost and payment link - as low as $10 per job."

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('clips/mfaq')
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained('clips/mfaq')

# Tokenize sentences
encoded_input = tokenizer([question, answer_1, answer_3, answer_3], padding=True, truncation=True, return_tensors='pt')

# Compute token embeddings
with torch.no_grad():
    model_output = model(**encoded_input)

# Perform pooling. In this case, max pooling.
sentence_embeddings = mean_pooling(model_output, encoded_input['attention_mask'])

Inference Examples
This model does not have enough activity to be deployed to Inference API (serverless) yet. Increase its social visibility and check back later, or deploy to Inference Endpoints (dedicated) instead.
