# THETA: Domain-Specific Embedding Model for Sociology

## Model Description

THETA is a domain-specific embedding model fine-tuned using LoRA on top of Qwen3-Embedding models (0.6B and 4B).  
It is designed to generate dense vector representations for texts in the sociology and social science domain.

The model is suitable for tasks such as semantic search, similarity computation, clustering, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG).

**Base Models:**
- Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B
- Qwen3-Embedding-4B

**Fine-tuning Methods:**
- Unsupervised: SimCSE (contrastive learning)
- Supervised: Label-guided contrastive learning with LoRA

## Intended Use

This model is intended for:
- Text embedding generation
- Semantic similarity computation
- Document retrieval
- Downstream NLP tasks requiring dense representations

It is **not** designed for text generation or decision-making in high-risk scenarios.

## Model Architecture

- Base model: Qwen3-Embedding (0.6B / 4B)
- Fine-tuning method: LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation)
- Output: Fixed-length dense embeddings (896-dim for 0.6B, 2560-dim for 4B)
- Framework: Transformers (PyTorch)

## Training Details

- Fine-tuning method: LoRA
- Training domain: Sociology and social science texts
- Datasets: germanCoal, FCPB, socialTwitter, hatespeech, mental_health
- Objective: Improve domain-specific semantic representation
- Hardware: Dual NVIDIA GPU

## How to Use

### Load LoRA Adapter

```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel
from peft import PeftModel
import torch

# Load base model
base_model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("Qwen/Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B", trust_remote_code=True)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Qwen/Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B", trust_remote_code=True)

# Load LoRA adapter from this repo
model = PeftModel.from_pretrained(
    base_model, 
    "CodeSoulco/THETA", 
    subfolder="lora_weights/0.6B/unsupervised/germanCoal"
)

# Generate embeddings
text = "社会结构与个体行为之间的关系"
inputs = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="pt", truncation=True, max_length=512)

with torch.no_grad():
    outputs = model(**inputs)

embeddings = outputs.last_hidden_state[:, 0, :]  # CLS token
```

### Load Pre-computed Embeddings

```python
import numpy as np

embeddings = np.load("embeddings/0.6B/zero_shot/germanCoal_zero_shot_embeddings.npy")
```

## Limitations

- The model is fine-tuned for a specific domain and may not generalize well to unrelated topics.
- Performance depends on input text length and quality.
- The model does not generate text and should not be used for generative tasks.
