nomic-embed text-v1.5 Clinical-Trials Matryoshka

This is a sentence-transformers model finetuned from nomic-ai/nomic-embed-text-v1.5 on the Clinical_trials_anchor-positive-pairs_EmbeddingModel-data2 dataset. It maps sentences & paragraphs to a 768-dimensional dense vector space and can be used for semantic textual similarity, semantic search, paraphrase mining, 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.

from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer

# Download from the 🤗 Hub
model = SentenceTransformer("vab46/nomic-embed-text-v1.5_Clinical-Trials_Matryoshka2")
# Run inference
documents = [
    '* 0-12 months of age. (Must be less than 1 year of life for the pulse oximeter portion of the study) Weight greater than 2 Kg at time of study\n* Admitted to an intensive care unit. (Not applicable for outpatient cohort)\n* Arterial line in place as standard of care (Not applicable for outpatient cohort)\n* Informed consent provided by parent or LAR.\n\n',
]
queries = [
    'What age group is targeted for this clinical trial?',
    'What is the focus of this clinical trial?',
    'Are patients with ASA physical status IV excluded from participating in this study?',
]
query_embeddings = model.encode_query(queries)
document_embeddings = model.encode_document(documents)
print(query_embeddings.shape, document_embeddings.shape)
# [1, 768] [3, 768]

# Get the similarity scores for the embeddings
similarities = model.similarity(query_embeddings, document_embeddings)
print(similarities)
# tensor([[ 0.4220, -0.1157,  0.1650]])
