Intended Use
This is a student encoder designed to be used as the backbone for a lightweight
3-class intent classifier (Action / Recall / Other) in multilingual dialogue systems.
- Action: User requests an action (book, order, change settings, etc.)
- Recall: User asks about past events or stored information
- Other: Greetings, chitchat, emotions, etc.
Usage
1from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer

4embeddings = model.encode(["예약 좀 해줘", "지난번 주문 뭐였지?", "안녕하세요"])
5print(embeddings.shape) # (3, 384)

Training / Distillation
This model was created via layer pruning (no additional training):
- Load teacher:
paraphrase-multilingual-MiniLM-L12-v2 (12 layers, 384 hidden)
- Select layers:
[6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11]
- Copy embedding weights + selected layer weights
- Wrap with mean pooling for sentence embeddings
For deployment, vocabulary pruning (250K → ~55K tokens) and INT8 quantization
are applied to meet the ≤50MB size constraint.
Limitations
- Layer pruning without fine-tuning may lose some quality vs. proper knowledge distillation
- Vocabulary pruning limits the model to the target 18 languages
- Designed for short dialogue utterances, not long documents
