ModernBERT Embed base Legal Matryoshka

This is a sentence-transformers model finetuned from nomic-ai/modernbert-embed-base on the json dataset. It maps sentences & paragraphs to a 768-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.

from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer

# Download from the 🤗 Hub
model = SentenceTransformer("adamNLP/modernbert-embed-base-legal-matryoshka-2")
# Run inference
sentences = [
    'Oglesby, 920 F.2d at 68 (“There is no requirement that an agency search every record system.”); \nMarks v. U.S. Dep’t of Justice, 578 F.2d 261, 263 (9th Cir. 1978) (holding that “the FOIA does \nnot mandate that [an agency] comply” with a request that would require “an all-encompassing \nsearch of the records of every field office”).  Therefore, the Court will grant summary judgment',
    'What case is cited to state there is no requirement for an agency to search every record system?',
    '¿Qué no pudo persuadir la parte apelante al tribunal?',
]
embeddings = model.encode(sentences)
print(embeddings.shape)
# [3, 768]

# Get the similarity scores for the embeddings
similarities = model.similarity(embeddings, embeddings)
print(similarities.shape)
# [3, 3]
