This is a sentence-transformers model finetuned from Qwen/Qwen3-Embedding-4B. It maps sentences & paragraphs to a 2560-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("novacardsai/qwen3-med-classifier")
# Run inference
queries = [
    "Instruct: Classify this medical flashcard into one or more relevant categories.\nQuery: picture frame vertebra in mixed phase of pagets disease",
]
documents = [
    'Instruct: Classify this medical flashcard into one or more relevant categories.\nQuery: do patients with radial head subluxation experience sensory loss over the dorsal side of the hand or wrist? no.',
    'Instruct: Classify this medical flashcard into one or more relevant categories.\nQuery: bronchiolitis obliterans (constrictive) is a patchy chronic inflammation & fibrosis of the bronchioles, which leads to collapse/obliteration of the bronchioles',
    'Instruct: Classify this medical flashcard into one or more relevant categories.\nQuery: diseases such as minimal change disease, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, and membranous nephropathy fall under the category of podocytopathies, which affect the podocytes of the kidney.',
]
query_embeddings = model.encode_query(queries)
document_embeddings = model.encode_document(documents)
print(query_embeddings.shape, document_embeddings.shape)
# [1, 2560] [3, 2560]

# Get the similarity scores for the embeddings
similarities = model.similarity(query_embeddings, document_embeddings)
print(similarities)
# tensor([[0.9688, 0.5820, 0.5742]], dtype=torch.bfloat16)
