It maps sentences & paragraphs to sequences of 128-dimensional dense vectors and can be used for semantic textual similarity using the MaxSim operator. This model is trained with un-normalized scores, making it compatible with [MUVERA fixed-dimensional encoding](https://arxiv.org/abs/2405.19504). ## Usage (txtai) This model can be used to build embeddings databases with [txtai](https://github.com/neuml/txtai) for semantic search and/or as a knowledge source for retrieval augmented generation (RAG). _Note: txtai 9.0+ is required for late interaction model support_ ```python import txtai embeddings = txtai.Embeddings( sparse="neuml/colbert-muvera-micro", content=True ) embeddings.index(documents()) # Run a query embeddings.search("query to run") ``` Late interaction models excel as reranker pipelines. ```python from txtai.pipeline import Reranker, Similarity similarity = Similarity(path="neuml/colbert-muvera-micro", lateencode=True) ranker = Reranker(embeddings, similarity) ranker("query to run") ``` ## Usage (PyLate) Alternatively, the model can be loaded with [PyLate](https://github.com/lightonai/pylate). ```python from pylate import rank, models queries = [ "query A", "query B", ] documents = [ ["document A", "document B"], ["document 1", "document C", "document B"], ] documents_ids = [ [1, 2], [1, 3, 2], ] model = models.ColBERT( model_name_or_path="neuml/colbert-muvera-micro", ) queries_embeddings = model.encode( queries, is_query=True, ) documents_embeddings = model.encode( documents, is_query=False, ) reranked_documents = rank.rerank( documents_ids=documents_ids, queries_embeddings=queries_embeddings, documents_embeddings=documents_embeddings, ) ``` ### Full Model Architecture ``` ColBERT( (0): Transformer({'max_seq_length': 299, 'do_lower_case': False}) with Transformer model: BertModel (1): Dense({'in_features': 128, 'out_features': 128, 'bias': False, 'activation_function': 'torch.nn.modules.linear.Identity'}) ) ``` ## Evaluation ### BEIR Subset The following table shows a subset of BEIR scored with the [txtai benchmarks script](https://github.com/neuml/txtai/blob/master/examples/benchmarks.py). Scores reported are `ndcg@10` and grouped into the following three categories. #### FULL multi-vector maxsim | Model | Parameters | ArguAna | NFCorpus | SciFact | Average | |:------------------|:-----------|:---------|:---------|:--------|:--------| | [AnswerAI ColBERT Small v1](https://huggingface.co/answerdotai/answerai-colbert-small-v1) | 33M | 0.4440 | 0.3649 | 0.7423 | 0.5171 | | [ColBERT v2](https://huggingface.co/colbert-ir/colbertv2.0) | 110M | 0.4595 | 0.3165 | 0.6456 | 0.4739 | | [**ColBERT MUVERA Micro**](https://huggingface.co/neuml/colbert-muvera-micro) | **4M** | **0.3947** | **0.3235** | **0.6676** | **0.4619** | | [ColBERT MUVERA Small](https://huggingface.co/neuml/colbert-muvera-small) | 33M | 0.4455 | 0.3502 | 0.7145 | 0.5034 | | [GTE ModernColBERT v1](https://huggingface.co/lightonai/GTE-ModernColBERT-v1) | 149M | 0.4946 | 0.3717 | 0.7529 | 0.5397 | #### MUVERA encoding + maxsim re-ranking of the top 100 results per MUVERA paper | Model | Parameters | ArguAna | NFCorpus | SciFact | Average | |:------------------|:-----------|:---------|:---------|:--------|:--------| | [AnswerAI ColBERT Small v1](https://huggingface.co/answerdotai/answerai-colbert-small-v1) | 33M | 0.0317 | 0.1135 | 0.0836 | 0.0763 | | [ColBERT v2](https://huggingface.co/colbert-ir/colbertv2.0) | 110M | 0.4562 | 0.3025 | 0.6278 | 0.4622 | | [**ColBERT MUVERA Micro**](https://huggingface.co/neuml/colbert-muvera-micro) | **4M** | **0.3849** | **0.3095** | **0.6464** | **0.4469** | | [ColBERT MUVERA Small](https://huggingface.co/neuml/colbert-muvera-small) | 33M | 0.4451 | 0.3537 | 0.7148 | 0.5045 | | [GTE ModernColBERT v1](https://huggingface.co/lightonai/GTE-ModernColBERT-v1) | 149M | 0.0265 | 0.1052 | 0.0556 | 0.0624 | #### MUVERA encoding only | Model | Parameters | ArguAna | NFCorpus | SciFact | Average | |:------------------|:-----------|:---------|:---------|:--------|:--------| | [AnswerAI ColBERT Small v1](https://huggingface.co/answerdotai/answerai-colbert-small-v1) | 33M | 0.0024 | 0.0201 | 0.0047 | 0.0091 | | [ColBERT v2](https://huggingface.co/colbert-ir/colbertv2.0) | 110M | 0.3463 | 0.2356 | 0.5002 | 0.3607 | | [**ColBERT MUVERA Micro**](https://huggingface.co/neuml/colbert-muvera-micro) | **4M** | **0.2795** | **0.2348** | **0.4875** | **0.3339** | | [ColBERT MUVERA Small](https://huggingface.co/neuml/colbert-muvera-small) | 33M | 0.3850 | 0.2928 | 0.6357 | 0.4378 | | [GTE ModernColBERT v1](https://huggingface.co/lightonai/GTE-ModernColBERT-v1) | 149M | 0.0003 | 0.0203 |0.0013 | 0.0073 | _Note: The scores reported don't match scores reported in the respective papers due to different default settings in the txtai benchmark scripts._ As noted earlier, models trained with min-max score normalization don't perform well with MUVERA encoding.
