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("sentence_transformers_model_id")
# Run inference
sentences = [
    'What action can the administrator take in the union territory of puducherry during the recess of legislature when immediate action is necessary, and what approval is required for this?',
    'question: What action can the administrator take in the union territory of puducherry during the recess of legislature when immediate action is necessary, and what approval is required for this?\nanswer: The administrator can promulgate such Ordinances as the circumstances appear to him to require, but he must obtain instructions from the President.',
    'question: What is the example of giving false evidence in illustration (d)?\nanswer: In Illustration (d), A gives false evidence when he states that he knows that Z was at a particular place on a particular day, not knowing anything upon the subject, being bound by an oath to state the truth.',
]
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,  0.9776, -0.0251],
#         [ 0.9776,  1.0000, -0.0217],
#         [-0.0251, -0.0217,  1.0000]])
