General Text Embeddings (GTE) model. Towards General Text Embeddings with Multi-stage Contrastive Learning
The GTE models are trained by Alibaba DAMO Academy. They are mainly based on the BERT framework and currently offer three different sizes of models, including GTE-large, GTE-base, and GTE-small. The GTE models are trained on a large-scale corpus of relevance text pairs, covering a wide range of domains and scenarios. This enables the GTE models to be applied to various downstream tasks of text embeddings, including information retrieval, semantic textual similarity, text reranking, etc.
Metrics
We compared the performance of the GTE models with other popular text embedding models on the MTEB benchmark. For more detailed comparison results, please refer to the MTEB leaderboard.

Usage
Code example
import torch.nn.functional as F
from torch import Tensor
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel
def average_pool(last_hidden_states: Tensor,
attention_mask: Tensor) -> Tensor:
last_hidden = last_hidden_states.masked_fill(~attention_mask[..., None].bool(), 0.0)
return last_hidden.sum(dim=1) / attention_mask.sum(dim=1)[..., None]
input_texts = [
"what is the capital of China?",
"how to implement quick sort in python?",
"Beijing",
"sorting algorithms"
]
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("thenlper/gte-small")
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("thenlper/gte-small")
# Tokenize the input texts
batch_dict = tokenizer(input_texts, max_length=512, padding=True, truncation=True, return_tensors='pt')
outputs = model(**batch_dict)
embeddings = average_pool(outputs.last_hidden_state, batch_dict['attention_mask'])
# (Optionally) normalize embeddings
embeddings = F.normalize(embeddings, p=2, dim=1)
scores = (embeddings[:1] @ embeddings[1:].T) * 100
print(scores.tolist())
Use with sentence-transformers:
from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
from sentence_transformers.util import cos_sim
sentences = ['That is a happy person', 'That is a very happy person']
model = SentenceTransformer('thenlper/gte-large')
embeddings = model.encode(sentences)
print(cos_sim(embeddings[0], embeddings[1]))
Limitation
This model exclusively caters to English texts, and any lengthy texts will be truncated to a maximum of 512 tokens.
