This is a sentence-transformers model finetuned from intfloat/e5-base. It maps sentences & paragraphs to a 768-dimensional dense vector space and can be used for semantic textual similarity, semantic search, paraphrase mining, text classification, clustering, and more.

Usage

Direct Usage (Sentence Transformers)

First install the Sentence Transformers library:

pip install -U sentence-transformers

Then you can load this model and run inference.

python

from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer

# Download from the 🤗 Hub
model = SentenceTransformer("RahulMeganathan/e5-smart-home-private")
# Run inference
sentences = [
    'Living room TV group',
    'Living room TV group is device_47: Television (all Televisions in Living room) including device_28 and device_32.',
    'The Trinity room wifi plug is device_26: SmartPlug, Wifi Smart Plug 1.',
]
embeddings = model.encode(sentences)
print(embeddings.shape)
# [3, 768]

# Get the similarity scores for the embeddings
similarities = model.similarity(embeddings, embeddings)
print(similarities)
# tensor([[1.0000, 0.9348, 0.2095],
#         [0.9348, 1.0000, 0.1903],
#         [0.2095, 0.1903, 1.0000]])
