BGE base Swahili Matryoshka

This is a sentence-transformers model finetuned from BAAI/bge-base-en-v1.5. 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("sartifyllc/bge-base-swahili-matryoshka")
# Run inference
sentences = [
    'Kuna masuala ya sera.',
    'Masuala ya sera ya mbinu nyingi na maombi.',
    'Mwanamke mwenye makunyanzi sana akishikilia miwani yake na kutembea kwenye barabara ya jiji.',
]
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]

  Alingoja mtu huyo mwingine arudi.	Ca'daan alingoja hadi alasiri yote mtu huyo atoke tena.
  Sheria hiyo huanzisha mfululizo wa ukaguzi wa majaribio.	Sheria hiyo pia inatoa sheria ya kudhibiti kwa ajili ya mashirika fulani ambayo yanahitaji kuandaa taarifa za kifedha za mashirika yote na kuzisimamisha kwa wakaguzi wa jumla.
  Mbwa anakimbia na kuruka nje.	Mbwa mwenye rangi ya kahawia anaruka na kukimbia shambani.
